Best pre-amp with built-in phono stage under 10K?

There seem to be a renaissance in this area. Among others, EAR has the 912 and Cary has the SLP-05. Both mentioned in TAS a few months ago but little info on them. I have been reading up on the Steelhead also which has one input and more can be added using the "switcher."

I need about 5 inputs. I am looking for something for my Art Audio PX-25 and I am wondering if there is something that is pretty much state of the art without going to separates. Remote control and high quality mc input a must, tubes would be preferred, mono and phase switching and balanced inputs close behind.

Having never auditioned the Supratek line of tubed pre-amps, there seems to be quite a following and the user reviews are spectacular. The phono section can handle any low-med output mc.

I read that you can have a unit made to your specifications...ie, with remote, mono switch (wish I had that feature), balanced/unbalanced ins/outs, etc...

I wish I could actually hear one for myself!!
