Best phono stage balanced under $3000 used

I own simaudio pre and power amp and will attempt to run it in balanced mode. I would like to get a phono stage/amp that has balanced topology and balanced outs. Now I am using ear 834p, vpi tnt, sumiko bluepoint.I want something that will bring world class sound.

For those waiting for the simaudio phono preamp, it is available now. I understand that there are many loading options. and of course it is balanced.

My friend owns a Hagerman Trumpet, I believe it's a completely balanced design, definitely balanced outs. Quiet and dynamic.

Where do you find a phono cartridge that has balanced outputs? While my SimAudio lp5.3 and PS Audio GCPH both have balanced outputs, I have yet to see a cartridge or tonearm that has balanced outputs. And if there is, what is the advantage I could expect to see.
