I would look for a PS Audio 4.5 or 4.6 preamp. It is passive or active has an excellent phono stage that can handle LO moving coils and it's pretty versitale and has an outboard power supply that's twice the weight of the preamp. Even the PS IVH is still a pretty good unit and
is easily found under $200. There are several hafler units out there DH100 or DH101 but the PS still has a better top end than the Haflers. Good Luck
