Opinions On The Following Phono Pre Amps Please

Hi all, I'm looking to upgrade from my Leema Acoustics Essentials phono stage. It's a real nice unit but slightly incompatible with the cart on my VPI Scout.  The cart is an expensive Crown Jewel so going to hold on to it for a while. The Leema also has only one setting each for both MM and MC.
I'm looking at:
Ear 834 P
Musical Surroundings Phonomena II+
JE Audio HP-20
Thanks in advance.

In those ruff price ranges I would also consider an Allnic (used or used), a Gold Note PH10, Manley chinook. All highly regarded. Also all have great adjustability.

I’ve only heard one of the above, the EAR, and wasn’t a contender to the above IMO.
