good phono amp under 1000?


Hi all,
I am looking into getting into vinly. i am new to this (21 yrs old) and have spent all the money i have made in the last 4 years on hifi. My current system is:
BAT VK75 SE
Belles 21A
Chord Signature Interconnect and speaker cable
jps kaptovator power cords
moon eclipse cd player
And i am buying a Vpi scout JMW9 table and arm
with a shelter 501 cart. This is where i need to decide on a decent phono pre. i have been told to go with the tom evans micro groove or the ASR mini basis. You guys got any suggestions on these or other pre's? I have bought all of this equiptment used so i wouldnt be afraid of buying this piece used as well. thanks in advance
