Phono Stage with XLR outs

Tube phono stages that I found so far with XLR outs are ProJect tube box DS3 B and Black Ice Audio Fusion 9 Mk3. In my price range brand new. I’m not exactly a ProJect fan boy. And I never heard Black Ice Fusion 9. 
Solid State fallback options Parasound, PS Audio, Chord Huei (not a fan of Chord after owning two of their DACs). Ayre will be impossible to find used. I can find a used McIntosh MP100 though. 
So lots to think about. Hopefully I get the table and cartridge by Saturday and try it with the kc vibe to get a baseline. 

Musical Fidelity has some nice phono stages with balanced outputs in both solid state and nu-vista tubes, ranging from M1vynl,M6,M8,nu-vista tube that are sometimes available in the resale market. Another option to consider. 

I would stay away from current driven phono stages if only because it limits the choice of cartridge to very low internal resistance LOMCs.  There are a lot of good ones in that group, it is true, but if you are gonna have only one phono stage and eventually perhaps several cartridges, I would recommend something more flexible.  And if you want tubes, then that alone eliminates current drive, so far as I know. I personally think you would be making a good choice to go with tubes, given your downstream equipment.

@audphile1 what didn't you like about the KC Vibe MII? 

I liked it. But when I upgraded from Hana EL to ML I upgraded to 20/20 Mk2 LPS. It provides more flexibility in load settings. The gain with the Vibe was slightly low - believe it or not I heard the difference between 0.5 on EL and 0.4 on ML. 20/20 resolved it. It was also much quieter and sounded better than the vibe. But…the Vibe is a solid phono.
