...Of course the ZP3 +ZMC is something I am looking at and drooling over (the 2 year wait the 4 year wait (FIFY) not so much haha)....
I love my (non-Decware) phone stage. I got it from a very small Decware-ish company in Canada and it is similar to the ZP3:
https://www.mapletreeaudio.com/Mine is a slightly different version with 12AX7 tubes instead of 12SC7s but overall I believe it would be a solid choice, esp. for the money. You'll also need a step-up transformer and you should be able to get one from Decware without the excessive wait. Mine is a Luxman, and the SUT + tube MM phono stage is (much) better than any MC preamp I've ever had, and I've had several.
