recommendation for phono pre amp and mc cartridge, around 1000$ each


i’m using well tempered classic tt and arm.
it’s not heavy arm, think between light to medium ,not sure.
i’m giving this info since i know that it’s important to cartridge match.
the phono should have at list up to 60 db, so i can use MCLO cartridge.
and have several loading and gain settings.

is there any advantage to a low output Mc compare to high, or mid?

not sure if this important but i am listening to variety kinds of music.
jazz, rock , classical

thanks to anyone that will help.

With a transimpedance or current input phono stage such as Sutherland’s TZ Vibe, the lower output MC cartridges typically exhibit a lower internal coil generator impedance which benefits greatly to maximize current flow (music delivery). 

I’m using a Rega ANIA MC cartridge feed into an iFi phono2 on a Sony PS-X50 Deck and love it. And would be in your budget.

 

My favorite cartridge (and I tried many) on my Well Tempered Record Player was the Denon 103R. The conical stylus was a great match for the wandering azimuth of the WT arm. I added an arm wrap to raise the effective mass, which worked way better than adding mass at the head shell.

Back then I used a Jolida JD9 phono preamp which has more than enough gain and was well under $1000 even with all the mods I did along the way. I now use an E.A.T. E-Glo Petit which is better sounding in every way and has much easier gain/loading adjustments, and can be found just under $1000 if you're patient. There are a number of good phono preamps out there in that price range right now.

thank everyone for the tips.

what is arm wrap ,and how do you get it?
i didn’t like so much wen tried adding mass at the head shell.
when you say:
"can be found just under $1000 if you’re patient"
you mean second hand online?
not everyone send to my country.
do you use the black arm which was an upgrade for the classic?
