Suggestions for tube phono pre starting 5k range

[MrMojoRisin]

Hello, new member here !
I would appreciate any advice regarding and good phono tube preamp.
Current setup is clear audio concept, audio note cobra, and a pair of Tannoy Edinburgh, originally was set on the Audio Note M2 phono but having second thoughts, if it’s really worth it I could go slightly higher up in budget. Are there better more organic options there that would sound as good as or better ?

Check out my Trumpet MC phono. State of the art. If I charged a dealer markup then it would get a bit closer to $5k...

Hagerman Trumpet is a very good phono. So Is the Lino Channel D3.3. You need to decide if you want tube, SS or transimpedance.
