Looking for moderate priced MC phono pre


I'm thinking of downsizing my analog system as I don't use it much any longer and can use the space. I'm looking for a moderately priced MC phono pre that offers cartridge loading options and can drive a long (15') run of IC. Tube is good, but not required. Any suggetions?

I'm hearing some very good reports about the AQvox 2CI from friends in continental Europe. It's sold direct from Germany with a no-risk trial period. I'll be hearing one next week so will report back further.

Otherwise, I'd be inclined to favor the Dynavector P75 or a used EAR 834P - the Dyna is less colored but the EAR has that tube "je ne sais quoi". Both are sought after used so could be moved on if they're not to your taste.
