Best affordable phono preamp?

what's the best phono pre, having to stay within 5000 dollars?
In my system itll' have to match LEctor cdp7, ARC Classic30+LS2

This is a great value. Also, I am auditioning a ZYX Artison right now, it is looking to be a killer for even less.

"Affordable" has such a different meaning for me that I can't even comment. What would an expensive used pp run? If you got the bucks, run amuck (I know I would)!

I can't say that I'll probably ever spend 5K on a phono preamp, but the Wright, based on what I've read kind of tickles my fancy.
