best preamp under 500 for cheap, poor student
Also a good buy in used preamp is the B&K Pro10MC Sonata. It goes for $300 or less on the net. It is a MOSFET design for tubelike sound and has a good phono section that is internal switch for MC or MM.I bought mine new in 1992 and am still us...

I need tube sound without the tubes
Have you tried B&K, used ST140s go for $2-300 used. The later models are 105 watts per channel. They also run relatively cool. I purchased mine new 8 years ago and have only had to replace it fuses once due to my monkeying around without think...
