Schiit Mani or Cambridge duo or Mofi ultraphono for a phono stage.

I would like to hear from members who actually own either one or more of these, regarding their sound quality.  I mostly listen to uptempo smooth jazz and like very fast and very tight bass (not boomy though).

I also cannot decide between a Goldring 2500 and a Nagaoka MP500 I am about to buy for a Linn Sondek with Audiomods V arm.  At this stage, I am NOT considering MC cartridges due to the inconvenience of  their styli not being replaceable (altho my choice of phono preamps all have the MC option in case I change my mind in the future).

Which of the above two cartridges and of the 3 preamps are preferable ?

Thanks in advance for any comments.

The only item I have and use regularly is the Mani.
Very very good, better than cds playing thru the Schiit Modi3 Dac. I'm a big jazz fan and this preamp (with Thorens TD203 and Ortofon 2m Blue cart) is simply amazing for me. Great PRaT, bold and tight bass, detail and air. I see no reason to change my analog set up playing thru an el34 tube integrated amp.
