Pure tube phono preamp


Any excellent sounding, quiet, all tube phono preamps under 10k for low output mc carts?

It's possible to do a MC stage with tubes but I wouldn't. Just finding tubes that are quiet enough is going to be a challenge and nothing guarantees that they will stay quiet.
Step up transformers matched to the cartridge is the way to go. Than buy a really good tubed phono stage. You will have all the magic you need. A lot of us go this route.

Does anyone know if current mode phono preamps use SUTs? 

I believe most phono preamps have them automatically built in.

Note: This is a MM phono stage which can't  handle low output MC unless you use a SUT.

Gain + 42 dB
With optional step up transformer + 61dB
