Take a look at the Jasmine LP2 and read some of the reviews here on Audiogon. Out of the box, the unit is a high performer. Upgrade the output caps with Jantzen Superior z-caps, and you should have no reason to look for another pre.
I run mine with a Denon DL-S1 on a Lenco rebuild (Mirko platter and bearing) and VPI JMW 12.5. I also used a Micro Acoustics MA530MP. The Jasmine worked superbly with both the LOMC and the moving iron.
