Phono preamp recommendation (under $1,000)


I recently upgraded my Technics SL1200G turntable with an AT33SA MC cartridge. The new cart has definitely exposed the limitations of my Schiit Mani preamp, so now I am looking to upgrade.

Does anyone have a recommendation for an MC preamp (I don't need it to handle MM as well), below $1,000 and ideally below $700?

So far, I have been considering, in no particular order, the Hafler PH60, iFi Micro iPhono2, MOON 110LP V2, Van Alstine Vison Q. I have no previous experience with MC carts or preamps, and no real opportunity to try out anything due to covid, so any constructive feedback would be highly appreciated.

Many thanks!
