Phono stage price range 1500 to 2000 dollars.

You might look at the AAW  Black Swan for $1500, multi cartridge inputs , Front panel cartridge loading, unbelievable low noise and clarity, doesn't sound like tube or SS., sound like the cartridge.   Black Swan - austinaudioworks.com

You cannot go wrong with Audio Research PH5 unit. There is one currently available for $1,400 with remote and original packing. I use the same phone stage. You have many options for tube rolling with 4 x 6922 tubes if you decided to do so. Highly recommended.

Sutherland 20/20

the most silent phone stage you will encounter regarding noise 

from gain as a lot of other stages suffer from.  You can get a new one at the 

top of your budget. Super versatile loading for almost any cart

Good luck! Willy-T

i have gone through many over the years

the ones i have kept are the ayre p5xe and the lehmann black cube se2 and decade

solid state, plenty of gain, dead quiet, utterly trouble free, full loading options, clean/clear/vast image and ample speed/slam, non editorializing amplification.... 

I am thoroughly enjoying my SPL  Phonos. The folks at TMR will work with you.
