Budget LOMC preamp recommendations needed


I need a good phono preamp to handle LOMC. By cheap I mean $800 or less. I currently have a Dynavector DV20XL2 and use a Phonomena II with it. I'm just not getting along with it (and I've goofed with loading ad nauseum and the Dyna is set up as well as it could be). Upgrading my amplification recently convinced me that the Phonomena II isn't good synergy with the Dyna. I'm sure the P75 will get thrown out but what else have you heard and liked? I'm wanting something very laid back, which is exactly what the Phonomena II isn't.

Nice to see you posting again, Nandric. Greg7 I would take Nandric's recommendation very seriously.
I love the Jasmine as well. Had some problems and took it in and had caps/resistors upgraded and now sounds even better. Plenty of gain plus loading options gor any cart.
Dear Frogman,Thanks for your kind words but it is not the
forum which makes my life difficult but those moderators.
You can observe in the MM thread what their influence is.
I.e. I am not the only 'censored' one.
