Pure tube phono preamp

in the price range you are looking at, you really should consider the VTL TP 6.5. Used, they go for well under your top budget. They use an FET for the first gain stage at the MC level, but after that all valve. Its the most open, most dynamic phono stage I have heard, and have been through over 30 of them in the last 4 yrs.

The OP determined what the requirements are-

ALL TUBE-rectified, tube gain(NO TRANSFORMERS)for LOMC. The majority of suggestions here do not fit the requirements. Looks like few understand the question.

So far the following meet them-
NVO & Aesthetix? 
My "cheap" used solution of my discontinued Fosgate. 

Let's see some gear that follows the OP's thread. I'm curious to see what's recommended.

Contact me at Vu Jade Audio we make a pure tube phono stage that is reference quality and we can custom make one for you based on your system/specifications. Copper plate, point-to-point wired, custom parts and transformers, etc. It was compared to the Aesthetix phono that was highly modified ($17K) and was found to have everything that one had plus a more engaging mid-range from the guy who owned the Aesthetix. Contact us through our web page and we will send you pictures and answer any questions. This is our two chassis, 30lb power supply design.

Happy Listening.

Hi
I love my Atma-Sphere MP-3. Clean, pure, musical and accurate.
It has an excellent phono stage. No need for a separate PS.
