Phone pre needed. Information overloaded


Have thiel 2.4s, psaudio BHK 250 and BHK sig preamp. Am building vinyl front end , have no phono preamp.
i would like $500-1000 phono preamp that will complement by mellowing the high end and maybe emphasize deep bass. 
Is this a silly request?
i have no access to demos in rochester, ny

thoughts?

OP what cartridge are you running ?

I have the Croft RIAA-RS in one system, the RIAA is quite good but not for LOMC. Long term service is across the pond in UK  w. Glenn Croft not releasing schematics. Just a fact, not a judgement.

The EAR as millercarbon describes nicely euphonic, might be perfect IF your system js a bit tipped up. Some of that you can tweak w loading or tube rolling in any tube unit, some not.

an amazingly quiet and laser flat neutral is the NOVa II and it is being replaced by the III, so they are showing up used now on Audiogon

have fun, enjoy the hunt and quest...
