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 can't imagine a better phono pre in that price range than the Zesto Andros 1.2.... I'm sure it could be had around 4K if you shop around.....
Many improvements over the prior model, which already had won every review award there is.....

A used Klyne 7PX3 Phono Preamplifier just sold on Audiogon. If you were the buyer you were lucky. It was a great deal at less than $2,000. if not maybe you will get to buy the next one.

My JC-3 and JC-2 combination sounds superb and is quiet.

That was a great deal! No wonder it sold in 11 hours. It probably wouldn't have lasted that long except for the fact that it was posted at 11:08 PM.

Damn!! Now I have to stay up all night long checking the market??? LOL!
