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

I have experienced the difference between high and low output MC cartridges switching from Hana MH to ML. ML seems to have more miniscule details in its sound reproduction. I am using QHW Vinyl phono stage, see M. Fremer's review, and I like very much what I am hearing. My choice of music is similar to yours. This combination is within your price range. Hope it helps.

Hana makes great cartridges around your price range.  Musical Surroundings has some very quiet and flexible phono stages in your price range.  If you want to save some money and spend more on your cart, consider the Parks Puffin phono stage.  It's excellent for the price.

stone1,

That's correct, I sold my WTRP years ago, although the 103R is still in my rotation of cartridges. I haven't heard anything about the E-Glo containing any noise reduction circuitry. Nothing I've read indicates that.

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.

The mass of that arm is 10 grams. With this chart you can find the capability of the cartridge that you decide to get! With a Japanese cartridge you will have to multiply the results by 1.7!
