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✌️

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.   
Go with a Tavish design classic or vintage for about $700 to $800. Tubed phono stages designed and built in the USA. I use one for my hana el and it sounds great. However, I am using the hana through the MM section (full tube) via a jensen step up. Another choice is the pro-ject tube box ds2. It’s a super Tubed phono preamp with more adjustments than you will know what to do with, and all right there on the front panel! It sounds fabulous and is musical, not analytical. It’s about $900, but about $1100 with your choice of real wood side panels in walnut, rosewood, or eucalyptus. It has received numerous great reviews. Don’t let the pro-jec name steer you clear, it is a well designed preamp and will sound wonderful. I still own mine and will never sell it.

I own both Gold Note PH-10 with PSU-10 and JLTi mk4.
Gold Note is good, but JLTi is better. The trade off is just one input and not fancy design.
For MM/MI the JLTi is much better because the manufacturer can make special mod (by request) to allow users load their MM at 100k Ohm.

Something interesting about JLTi emailed to me once by the manufacturer: 

“Have you noted there is a movement towards 'current mode'phono stages for MC cartridges? These are really only suitable for MC cartridges as they 
convert the higher current of MC and this only works for low impedance  cartridges. The JLTi Phono also uses 'current mode' but in a different way. Again, trying  not to be too technical, it is a transconductance circuit where even the RIAA  EQ takes place via current being dumped into the EQ components and from  here forms the voltage that we finally end up listening to after it has been buffered and converted to low output impedance of the phono.”
