Audiophile Grade RCA Input Suggestions?

The right RCA input on my Trichord Dino phono preamp has gone dead. Verified through multimeter that there is an internal short.

This is a good opportunity to upgrade! For those of you who build/mod their components, what RCA input components do you suggest? I need a two-way component, and I'll be upgrading both at the same time to keep the sound signature the same.

Good suggestions on Parts Connexion! Unfortunately they don't have any two-way RCA inputs. 

Also, the input component needs front-facing screw holes like the originals, as the back of the chassis is secured by screws that go into the component. 

This image shows what they basically look like:

Here are the cheap-o versions that would work, and be equivalent to the Trichord ones.
