Best Phono Stage within 2000 $


Hello Guys,

I'm thinking to buy a MC cartridge (low output like AT33PTG for example) but my Grado PH1 Phono Stage doesn't have any other setup apart the fixed 47kohm so I need to buy another Phono Stage
I don't want to spend more than 2000 $USD
I read good things about Acoustech PH1P (1500 $USD retail) and about PS Audio GCPH l-1 (Underwood mod.) , Art Audio Vinyl1 , Sutherland PHD (2000 $ on used market) .. etc...
Other ideas about tube or SS good Phono Stages?
Preowned are welcomed .. less money for best value/quality

What's the best choice for you?

Thanks in advance for your Suggestions/Opinions

FWIW, the "Feickert" tonearm can be purchased here:

for around $400 U.S. I would think that would be a pretty good buy and would have sprung for one myself if my table could accomadate an arm of that length. Unfortunately it can't.
Why pay US$1000 for a "Feickert" 10.5 S Jelco arm when you get the same thing for much less without the "Feickert" at the front from the link provided by Hdm above.

Here is mine (10.5 S)on my Raven One which is identical.

Assuming the PMG and Feickert arms are built to the same specs then this would be a great deal.

Is there any evidence to suggest they are?
Actually I should qualify my earlier statement as they look identical rather than are confirmed identical.
