The CM-7777 is a good amp, for weak signal areas.

The Winegard HDP-269 competes for the same applications as the CPA-19 but it produces slightly more noise internally.

http://www.kitztech.com/ offers very impressive noise performance, but they do not indicate high input capability. You could contact them if you're interested.

I still don't understand what high input capability means....

As for that Kitztech pre-amp with 0.4db NF, here are some reviews:
