Back to vinyl need phono stage help!


Recently back in the vinyl game since the eighties! Sota sapphire VI>Origin Live silver>Hana EH. My backend is a Primaluna Evo 400>Pass Labs XA30.8>Ascend Acoustics towers. Musical tastes from Porcupine Tree to Loreena McKennitt!! Looking for phono stage help! Would take musical and dynamics over analytical any day of the week!! Sutherland KC vibe is what's been recommended to me. Price range would be around 1k to 1500. Of course there's always wiggle room lol!
Thanks✌️

I run a Technics 1200G to Project Phono RS ($1000) to Evo 400.

The RS comes with a wall wart or for an additional $700 Project offers a battery powered power supply.

I bought an outboard power supply on ebay for $200 and it is much quieter than the wall wart.

The RS is dual mono (so the settings are done for each R/L channel).

It has settings for MC/MM...no step uo transformer needed. It is dead quiet. 

It is a very underated phono preamp.
Yea a lot of good reviews and happy owners on the ZP3s. Tape option too. That is the primary use. I'll get it down to a flip of a switch or two for LP use, mono or stereo.. You don't have to use Decware, but they have 10:1 L or H and 30:1 Low only SUT. Decwares point to point solder works is next to NONE.. truly art.. I had a pair of his M60s. ART....
4-6 month waiting list.. 

Read how he developed that phono stage..VERY, AudioGon (ish) to some of the great Tweakers here. Can tweak the heck out of that puppy..

I'm pretty sure it would make a heck of an adjustable tube (valve) buffer stage..Too!! Can get all tubie with a flip of a switch, COOL.

If you can find a (used) C-J EF-1 which currently sells at less than $1K, you’ll be very happy. It would outperform all the options listed above, I bet. It is old, but there is never a single electrolytic capacitor inside and it is built like a tank. Impedance (200 to 47k ohms) and gain (40, 46, 52db)are adjustable via switches inside the chassis. Your Hana EH will be happy with 500 ohms. 
ZP3 will work great for you.  It's a virtually EXACT copy of my original CORNET design (long story there), but with an 0A3 added.  For half the price you can get a CORNET3 new, but it doesn't have the fancy chassis.
