I am using a rogue magnum stealth and an original rega ios and both are dead quiet even on an ultra low output mc cartridge so i can say that they are very good options. Also the parasound jc3+ would be a good choice and will grow with your table and system. The first two mentioned are also very quiet even on +100 decibel speakers which is very important for lovers of tube amplifiers.
I went from a Parasound JC3 Jr., to Herron VTPH-2A, to PS Audio Stellar. With a 1200G and Ortofon Quintet Black. Surprisingly to me, the Herron and PS Audio were basically a toss-up. The Stellar is dead quite and sounds great.
