EAR 834L tube line stage (black $1295, deluxe gold $1595) is another good option. Also I second Dudeaudio on the Copland 301MK 2 as this is a killer tube preamp with decent phono stage. Blue Circle BC21 (6SN7 based) sounds wonderful and works well with 3B-ST but noisy when matched with 4B-ST (DC offset problem). The new BC21.1 ($1650 retail) is equipped with 6922s and could be a potential good matchup with Bryston amp.
