Integrated tube amp with phono pre - need recco

Believe it or not, my wife has caught the LP bug and we agreed to put together a midfi system for her to play records.  We had heard a system with a Peachtree integrated with a built in phono pre and loved it.  I’m finding the Peachtree lineup baffling so I can’t seem to identify the unit, but anyway…

Looking for recommendations MSRP in the $900-1100 range.  Must have phono pre built in (no linestages) and tubed.  What are the options you’d recommend?

Thanks.  Speakers are B&W, impedance around 91-92, pretty standard.  I’ll take a look at the Sphinx and Croft units.

I'm not wedded to tubes, so open to suggestions, but the ~$1000 MSRP price point is important.  The Heed Elixir (ss) is a terrific idea (reviews are very positive) but it's a small European brand and no used units are out there. 

Does the Peachtree Nova150 have a built-in phone pre-amp?  The info I saw indicates it doesn't.  I've been finding the Peachtree lineup baffling to work through in terms of specs. 

Really appreciate the help here.
