For $795, take a serious look at the Ray Samuels Audio (RSA) F-117 Nighthawk MC/MM phono pre-amp.
I have the Dynavector DV-20X Low MC Cartridge mounted on my VPI Scoutmaster and even though the Dynavector P-75 MK-II was a great match for my Dynavector cart, the F-117 Nighthawk is better (for roughly the same price).
As a bonus, the settings can be changed on the fly via front panel knobs (no need to open up the unit).
I've had mine for roughly 2 weeks now and I've been totally blown away by the F-117. I even had the chance to compare it to the Nagra BPS (3x the price of the F-117) and the F-117 had better, tighter, deeper bass than the Nagra BPS!
