I've used the Lehmann Black Cube and the Audiomat Phono-1...both are excellent. I replaced the Black Cube with the Audiomat, so I prefer that over the cube...more detailed and musical, but a completely different feel from the cube. I think the Black Cubes are around $650 new and $400-ish used. The Audiomat Phono-1's are $1000 new.
I recently bought a used Counterpoint SA-5000 and that has a really nice phono stage in it too. I'll probably be seeling my Audiomat and using the Counterpoint instead.
