phono preamp with volume?

i really only listen to my turntable, and i feel like i'm paying for a full-feature linestage that i don't need. does anyone know of a quality phono-preamp with a volume control to go direct into the power amp. i'd prefer tubes. does such a product exist? any good or bad experiences with a setup like i described? thanks...

Hi, I think the consenus thought here is a linestage is desireable with a phono stage. Just yields a better sound.

Not sure your price range or needs, but their are several preamps with very good built in phono stages.

-Some of the BAT preamps have a phono card option
-Nagra PLP
-Several vintage Audio Research preamps
