If you don't need a lot of control flexibility, the Aesthetix Io phono amp has sufficient gain (and a volume control) to allow direct connection to your power amp. Worth checking out if you can find one to audition.

Preamp with quality MC phono section
I am in the market for a preamp with a builtin quality mc/mm phono section. Budget, up to $10,000 new or used.
Preamps that I can think of with a quality phono section are:
VAC
Shindo
Doshi
CAT
Any experience with any of these or recommendations would be appreciated. BTW any SS recommendations would also be welcomed.
