At that budget, CNC is the best option.

Alternatively, if you up your budget - the ifi iPhono (first or second gen) should go excellently with your Cayin.
After cartridge , phonos make the most significant difference to sound.
Here is another one - Vincent PHO-200
If you stretch your budget then the Darlington Labs MP7 is hard to beat for any price. Read the reviews.

Have reached out to him. Let's see
Read the reviews. Is any Indian dealer stocking them? Can't find ?
Will check it out.
Will check this out. Looks good. Coming from Vincent Audio, looks like an interesting prospect.
Nope. It’s not expensive, can pick and bring or import. Richards is a very nice chap. Phono is excellent. MC attachment available too.
Thanks.

In the same boat, looking for a phono preamp at a similar budget. Checking out the suggestions here with interest, thanks to everyone.
Also, is there a minimum number of posts that I need to get to before I can message another forum member? Just tried to message Sachu888 as was recommended but couldn't. Please let me know, thanks.

I have used a few phono preamps in past,
- CNC Phono (still present as a backup) - 5-6k
- Zen Phono - 16k
- Pro-ject MM/MC Phono Classic - 18-20k
- EAR Phono Clone - 35k
- Pro-ject Tube Box DS2 Discrete MM/MC Pure-Tube - 90-95k
- EAR Phono - 1.25
Under 20k I would suggest Ifi Zen Phono then the CNC Phono, Zen adds a bit of depth and better control on bass
Around a lakh would pick EAR Phono then Project Tube Box DS2 (only with a SS Amp)

I don't think any such restrictions exists for messaging a FM.
Noted. Will check ifi out

Another great option is Schiit Mani phono Pre. I got mine from Headphonezone long back and still listen to it.
I don't think its available in HPZ anymore
