I've been enjoying the ModWright PH-150 Reference Phono for the past year. It's a very flexible MM/MC, 2-input, RCA or XLR tube phono stage that fits in your price range (MSRP $8K). Sounds great IMO with the stock tubes, although others have tube-rolled with good results too. Front panel controls for all loading adjustments are a bonus. Dan Wright is an excellent manufacturer and tech advisor for this product.
