Reasonably priced 2K Phono Preamp?


Just starting to plan my turntable setup and I'm contemplating phono preamps. Just read about the new Krell phono pre in TAS,for about $1600. Any comments or additions. BTW, I love Audiogon and would happily buy used.
Thanks,
David

To the above I would add the "DACT" 101 (#?). It comes in semi-kit form (i.e. the circuits are ready, you add casing + batteries or separate power supply).
A friend of mine put it together with active PS. It sounds wonderful, has gain of its own (i.e., you can also hook a digi source onto it -- if you want to give passive a go), and the cost including the extra matls should be 1,5-2K (from what he told me). DACT stands for "Danish Audio Connect" & their site is www.dact.com// & that completes my knowledge of this product.
Oh yes, the system: a mean-looking VPI/Koetsu (sorry, can't remember either model), Krell 250, Wilson 6,1.
Good luck!
