Hello,
I see here posted on Agon - a Sumo Elektra preamp with a very decent MM/MC phono stage. Add the B&K ST-2020 amp held here on auction and you have a very respecible set up for the money. I'm sure there are many other combo's via what's posted on Agon others can suggest. Buying used offers the best bang for the buck assuming you research and shop carefully. I acquired a B&K MC101 preamp for $275 and a Monarchy Audio SM-70 amp (original version)for around $350. Very happy with the combo.
Best wishes.
