Odyssey Stratos, Denon 3700 cd/dvd player, Monitor Audio speakers. musical taste- Beatles, Emmylou Harris, Steve Earl and the Miller's and good old 60's and 70's rock. Thanks to those who reply.

Conrad-Johnson 10AL which is the line version. Should be able to find a used one in your price range. The classic CJ tube sound would be a nice synergestic combo with your solid state amp and cd player.

I also have an Odyssey amp and use a tube preamp, an ARC SP9MkIII. I think that the suggestion of a Conrad Johnson PV10 is excellent. They are outstanding products and would compliment your system. You should be able to get one for between $500-$600. If you can find one without a phono stage(PV10L) you may get it cheaper. Consider ARC preamps as well.

CJ PV12. A slightly better soundstage than the PV10. I would offer you mine, but I have a buyer lined up right now.
