best phono stage under 10k

Personally I'd like the Manley Steelhead at <$10k.  It also has a line level single ended input for your DAC/CD/Streamer, which means it can function as your phono pre and preamp.  But I'm a tube guy and like the Manley sound.  They also have superb customer service and the company will be around because of its foothold in the recording industry. 

I have had  an Atma-sphere MP1 mk2 for 16 years. The only piece that’s lasted so long in my system. I’ve compared it to many other line stages and this is always the one I prefer musically to the others. I’m such a huge fan of the MP1. As far as the phono section in mine, it’s very good compared to others. For awhile now I’ve also been using an Aesthetix Rhea Sig. and  really like this too. Mostly I enjoy the three inputs and programable inputs for load and gain. I run three tables with 3 arms. I won’t say one is better. They are different sounding and both have their own strengths. Both in the same league.  I will say though that my preferences is all tubes all the way through. I prefer no step ups or even a FET in the input stage. Yes, noise can be an issue but worth it to me. The Thoress phono stage I heard in direct comparison to the Rhea Sig. It was quieter and a little more detailed, but no where near as musically exciting as the Rhea for my preferences.

I should add that I only ever had radio interference when using one certain phono cable. And had it bad. I could distinguish the song playing. Changed that cable and gone. 
Also, I had a Tom Evans groove. No problem for me, but the new owner has issues with cell phone interference. He said he’s tried changing cables and arms, and no luck. The Tom Evans is solid state. 

@sdrsdrsdr  There are quite a few updates available for your preamp! The warranty can be reactivated too.

Hi Ralph. I’ve had my MP 1 in a few times for updates. Last time was about 4-5 years ago. One day maybe I’ll be lucky enough to own a mk 3. The only preamp right now that I think I would trade mine for.
