The Boulder 508 might have been perfect but unfortunately it's way out of your budget. I used one at home on audition for month about 5 years ago and it was great.
Phono Stage with XLR outs
Taking another stab at vinyl after about a year break. Not going too fancy but would like a phono stage with both RCA and XLR outputs. My amp, Boulder 866, only accepts XLR. I do have a set of Cardas adapters but thinking to do it right.
Budget - under $1500 used or new.
Table - Clearaudio Concept with Hana ML moving coil cartridge.
Not trying to compete with my Meitner MA3i digital front end. Just looking for good natural presentation.
Contenders - Pro-Ject DS3 B, Black Ice Audio Fusion, McIntosh MP100
Any other candidates that I should consider?
For the money, this two are darn good bargains, https://parasound.com/products/zc-zphonoxrm And this, https://www.usaudiomart.com/details/650248173-whest-audio-two2-discrete/
