Best Preamp with Phono $2300 Max?

I'm trying to consolidate in my new small space. I've tried to make it work with small size separates (a Dynavector P75 and an LDR volume control) but the WAF is an issue. I listen to vinyl only so the phono part is particularly important. What's the best in that price range? ARC SP17 or Audible Illusions with the John Curl MC board or something else?
