What's the best Phono preamp under $1000??


What should I expect to pay to get something decent?

Thanks in advance. Dave Taylor, chicago

New? Used? MM or MC? Tube or SS? Is a remote important? How many line inputs are needed at minimum? What are the partnering components? A preamp is a tool for a job - so to get the right one, you have to define what the job requires.

Used is fine. MC. Either tube or SS. Remote unnecessary (why would I need one?)
One input is enough. Surrounding equipment: Michelle Gyrodek with AT OC9 MC cartridge. Audio Research LS16 Mk 2 preamp with Parasound Amp. Dac is Goldmund Memisis 12.
A used Sim Audio LP5.3 would be an option. I have had great success with the one I am using.
