Help me choosing a pre phono and TT matching

Thanks to all for the comments, they were really helpful!

I'd prefer to go with a pre-phono instead of a SUT because I could use it also with other amp which don't have a good phono input.

So do you think the MoFi Studiophono could be a right choice?
 
One vote for the Pro-ject Tube Box. Pro-ject's phono pre-amps are pretty darn good. For sure, not as many complaints as their turntables. If you have some nice NOS 12AX7 on-hand --- you'll be good to go.

For more or less the same cost of the Studiophono the Vista Audio Phono 2 offers more versatility. More settings as for gain (up to 70dB useful for very low output MCs like the Denon 103) and resistive load and unlimited for the capacitive load, via terminals on the circuit board where you can place any capacitor you want. Two different settings for the subsonic filter.
I ordered one past month and I'm alternating it with the Zen Phono. Excellent.
