recommendation for phono pre amp and mc cartridge, around 1000$ each


i’m using well tempered classic tt and arm.
it’s not heavy arm, think between light to medium ,not sure.
i’m giving this info since i know that it’s important to cartridge match.
the phono should have at list up to 60 db, so i can use MCLO cartridge.
and have several loading and gain settings.

is there any advantage to a low output Mc compare to high, or mid?

not sure if this important but i am listening to variety kinds of music.
jazz, rock , classical

thanks to anyone that will help.

for cartridge i'm throwing here several brands.
clear audio , van den hull , hana, audio technica , dynavector , 
think to go on mc with 0.4 1.0 mv output.

you wrote "was the Denon 103R."
so right now you are not using the WT ?

i read that the E-Glo Petit have kind of noise reduction parts.

those reductions always worry me that they also reduct part of the music.

thanks, i'll check it too.
the thing is that i am trying to find the right match with my tt and arm

yes unfortunately the WT have azimuth control issues, along with other issues.
i guess i will also replace it sometime.
so just to sure i understood.
you wrapped around the full length of the arm that white plumbers Teflon tape? 
like this one?
 

 

thank everyone for the tips.

what is arm wrap ,and how do you get it?
i didn’t like so much wen tried adding mass at the head shell.
when you say:
"can be found just under $1000 if you’re patient"
you mean second hand online?
not everyone send to my country.
do you use the black arm which was an upgrade for the classic?

thanks donvito looks like good instrument.
just wan to be sure, when you said "The mass of that arm is 10 grams" you meant to my well tempered arm?
i didn't have thin info.

thanks to all.
complicated dilemma.
will read some reviews for the recommended items 
i read good things about hana carts.
the question it how much it will match my arm.

when you saying "My favorite cartridge (and I tried many) on my Well Tempered Record Player was the Denon 103R. "
can you detail a bit more?

it’s interesting and relevant to me.

question is what version  of arm they talking about, since the upgraded it on the late 90's, and that the one i have.
not sure but i think that the previous one was lighter,

i think that the last link is for the new version of WT .
anyway my arm effective length is 9" 
on the instruction papers i got with the original classic, and also with the upgrade it doesn't say nothing about it.
here in the photo is the upgraded version i have.
