I tried the Bellari, way too tubey for me.
I went with a Graham Slee SE2 which does MM and high output MC, retails at $400, but you can probably get a deal on one....it's a TAS Recommended component in their latest rag...if it doesn't beat anything up to $1k I'd be real surprised.
My first pick would be the Eastern Electric MiniMax tube pre, it sounds absolutely amazing!! But comes in at $1200 I think it is (less used)...now that's a giant killer!
