Phono stage for second system

My winter project is here.  Trying to set up a second system for my home office.

Will by mainly a vinyl system.

Space is an issue as the room is only 12 by 14.

Any suggestions for a small foot print phono stage in the 3-4 K price range.  Probably solid state, but open to tubes as long as the unit is one box solution.

Thanks and happy Thanksgiving.

Just picked up a used Sutherland 20/20 and so far so good.  Very smooth and dead quiet.  Regular component width and depth size but only 2" high.  Excellent build quality IMO.

Another Sutherland fan here! Have the Little Loco and Dos Locos. Excellent in their price range.

+1 on the iPhono3 Black Label

Very small footprint, 85dB noise floor, gain settings from 36 to72 dB, it sounds amazing.

Another vote for Sutherland. Loved my 20/20 with LPS. Solid support from Ron as well in case of questions, etc

I also built an older Hagerman Cornet and it was very good, probably keep up with $1k stages.

Another person I know went through an Icon Audio and Modwright PH9.0, ended up with the Trumpet and is very happy.
