Look for an Audio Research SP-3 (any version) tube preamp. Has everything you're looking for (two phono inputs, etc.), and still sounds great. Especially good phono stage. A true classic for which ARC still has an upgrade package!
Best classic pre and post amp combinations
I'm interested in improving my power. I've got two Rega planer 3's. I would like a pre thats high end and classic with 2 phono inputs, 2 tape loops and an aux or CD input. class A discreet is a must. Tube or Fet. I prefer used and something thats easy to find on EBAY or Audiogon. My buget is small about $1000. This is a big step forward and I want to insure big bang for the buck.
