I second the Jeff Rowland Concentra I or II advice. I own the earlier version, and consider it to be absolutely outstanding.
I also recently acquired a vintage Accuphase E-303 to use in Europe where I am currently living, and am very impressed. Not as good as the Concentra, but terrific (when re-capped, etc.) bang for the buck at around $1000 – if you can find a good one.
