Pure tube phono preamp

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

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. BillWojo
