The Manley STEELHEAD tube phono stage can be setup as a preamp and has a very good following.
Many reviewers considered it "state of art" a while back.

Single Source Tube PreAmp?
I'm vinyl only and I want to use a good a preamp as possible, but I don't want all those inputs and switches and extras. Just attenuation. Is there such thing as a single input tube preamp? I've tried just the attenuators like the Placette and a TVC model but they are a bit dry. Loved the sound of an SP11 but it's just too much component.
