I'm happy with my Classe CP-60 w/ MM/MC phono stage. It also has a surround passthrough for my HT. List was $4200, I believe $3700 w/o phono. You can find them for less than $2K used. Good luck.

best ss preamp for 2000 or less used
I am looking for a solid state preamp to help speed up my system without sounding too bright. I have tried the conrad johnson pfr and loved the sound but couldn't deal with the volume control, 4 steps from zero was ear bleeding. Is anybody happy with their ss pre.
