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.

yes unfortunately the WT have azimuth control issues, along with other issues.
i guess i will also replace it sometime.
so just to sure i understood.
you wrapped around the full length of the arm that white plumbers Teflon tape? 
like this one?

stone1,

Yes, that's the tape I used, and I wrapped the entire length. The counterweight I had would still balance the arm; if your arm is heavier you might need to use less tape, maybe wrap half. It's pretty easy to remove if you need to experiment.
