Pass Labs' current model is the Xono with signal path electronics in one box and power supply in another. It's got some favorable reviews and is quite flexible in loading and gain settings. The prior model is the Aleph Ono, which is a one box design. Much cheaper used. Reviewers say they can hear a difference between the two, though. Both have balanced and unbalanced output connections. Good luck.
Do you have a budget or is it cost no object? New or used or does it matter? I hear the Boulder unit is nice if you have $20,000 or so to spend. There are very fine choices at lower price points but it is kind of fruitless to make suggestions unless we know your budget.
As Nar com states a BAT vkp10 is a great unit (73 db gain) that will allow you to use a low output cartridge also.
