Phono Preamp price range $2000-$4000

I want to buy new Phono preamp for Shelter 9000 cart, the sound i want very neutral and high resolution and balanced, also synergic with Krell gear.

JC3 have good reviews but some complaint its noisy, Sutherland Duo look very promising but no reviews, Pass lab XP-15 sound good choice.

I appreciate any comments or thoughts about these models particularly Duo. Also some suggestion for other phonos, most reliable and popular, also sonically impressive.

Cheers.

Thank you.

I have to tell you, the Linn Linto is damn good. It has fixed
loading and I'm not sure if it will work with the Shelter, but
if it does, you might want to check it out.

Are you looking for a specific hardware set-up or the best performance?

Anyone have thoughts on the Whest Audio PS.30RDT or Pass Labs XP-15? Both are just under the $4000 threshold.

I had a Whest PS.30 before the Herron. I preferred the Herron for a variety of reasons.

Solid state? Look into something by Avid, or a Musical Fidelity kW if you can track one of those down.
