Small factor phono stage


I am putting together a small system for my second office.  Space is a bit of an issue.  Plan to listen to mainly vinyl ( no streaming ).

Looking for a small phono stage; one box ( ie no external power supply ), tube based preferably.  Price range 2-3 K.

Have an old Triode amplifier - to start with- but will likely upgrade down the road.

Thanks

I am going to tell you. Unless you need a tube or tube hybrid I would go with Hegel V10. I have this and it does a great job. Even though it is small it has a linear power supply. The transformer is in the “wall wart” if you are ok with that you are good. There is a battery powered (rechargeable) phono stage that is under $1k. They are out of Skokie. IL. I bought my Hegel V10 at 

holmaudio.com in Woodridge, IL. 

EAR or Hagerman.

I haven't heard but maybe Luxman or Zesto.  Also EAT Glo.

Tavish Adagio is really good too, but separate power supply.

+3 for EAR

I have been using an EAR 834p.  I love it for its amazing midrange and forward sound. Tube rolling made significant changes for me.  Compared to the other phono preamps I have from Pass, LAMM, and Hagerman, it holds its own merits.
