I owned a Levinson 390S that would be a logical match. The Einstein Last Record Player (!) also might work. The Reimyo gear has been getting rave reviews lately too and is probably in your price range.
I don't think the 390S is mechanical at all. Prior to using all 47Labs gear, I preferred the 390S over the Wadia and Accuphase that I owned. I found it smooth, detailed but not emphatically so, but just a bit reticent. It is relaxed. I would use it without the preamp if you can. It sounds better this way.
