Looking for a new (used) phono preamp to replace EAR834


I am looking for a new to me used tube based phono preamp to replace my EAR834. I have a VPI Classic 3 with Hana SL cartridge right now. Looking for a warmish/liquid sound for mainly vocal focused recordings. Would like to stay below $2K in used market. Open to suggestions slightly above this too.

Thoughts on how the EAR834 compares to the Allnic H1201 or the Fosgate Signature?

I recently purchased a vintage ARC PH3 SE, for $900. It’s quite nice. I don’t know if it’s worse - same - or better than your current unit, but I love it. I like it just as much as my Parasound JC 3+.
