best phono-stage for 1200$ max.


I would appreciate opinions about phono stage in 1200$ price range.
128x128kops
ss would be the Lancelot Camelot & Charm psu, which beleive it or not will not shine without a decent power cord.
tube would be the Quicksilver stage & step up if you need it.
I love this stage. Shades the stage in my Supratek and most anything I've heard up to about 4x it's price.
does your pre or integrated have a phono board? many pre-pre's are not as good as the one already onboard
