I have the Phonos with my Acoustic Signature Triple X and used it with both the Umami Red and presently the ATArt9xA both extremely low output carts. The phonostage is dead quiet and extremely dynamic. I absolutely love it. I’m using it with my Octave V70 Class A amp and it is just stunningly good, especially for a SS unit. I did upgrade then fuses and PC but well worth the $$. If you can get it for under $2k it is well worth it.
