Good suggestions, Dekay. I would also like to add the MFA Magus to the list. Also, the Counterpoint preamps. They are very good preamps w/ phono sections. The MFA can be had used, of course, for under $600, and sometimes the Counterpoints are seen for under $400. Even though both these companies are out of business, they have repair and upgrade support by the previous owners/distributors. Both of these brands were considered to be some of the best units made at their time, and even now they compete with some fairly high-end stuff. Particularly if you are going analog, these units have great phono sections and will get you a great preamp/phono section for about the price of a mediocre new SS phono section alone. And you won't get a tube phono section new for anywhere near their price. They are very good value for the money spent.
