MM phono preamplifier

I need recommendations for Very good mm phono preamplifier. I have a few suits and want to save some money reducing the phono stage away from MC. Preamp Air Tight ATC1. Amps Wavelength Gemini Monos. Speakers Cain and Cain Single Ben.

Leben makes a MM only phono preamp. Most use it with a SUT

@jperry   Not sure I understand the specs on the Leben.  23.5dB gain? So when used with a SUT it is only useful paired with MM or high-output MC carts?

The Tron Electric Convergence phono is exceptional and is offered in a MM-only version. Build quality is second to none.

If you're patient, keep a look out for a used Herron VTPH-1mm. I've never seen one for sale, and got mine from Keith Herron himself. You could ask him if he has a trade-in available.
