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 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.
