Well below your price range, but it performs like a $3k stage! The PS Audio GCPH has a volume control and has a very smooth, wonderful sound to it. Fully balanced XLR output too.
The EAR 834p has a volume control. Be careful that the output is adequate to drive whatever amp you are using. Phono preamps typically feed a line stage where additional gain is added.
Art Audio Vinyl One. Wonderful performer. I first purchased EAR 834B and then PS Audio GCPH. These both had great sound quality. With my set up I find the Vinyl One notably better. I've had it now for 2 years +.
