Phono stage for second system

My winter project is here.  Trying to set up a second system for my home office.

Will by mainly a vinyl system.

Space is an issue as the room is only 12 by 14.

Any suggestions for a small foot print phono stage in the 3-4 K price range.  Probably solid state, but open to tubes as long as the unit is one box solution.

Thanks and happy Thanksgiving.

In some ways, I prefer this to my $8k tube phono stage. I could live happily with it in my main stereo.

The phono stages I know of in that range are all full sized or separate power supply types.

I would maybe consider a Hagerman Trumpet MC or Darlington Labs MP8B if room is a deal breaker. I consider both giant killers. I still run a Hagerman Bugle at work. I had an older Darlington MP-7 and it kept up with a Tavish Adagio.

Maybe Lejonklou? Or Lehman (small two box) and Slee?
