Best Phono solid state under 2K?

Because i Think that the combination of Solid state with tubes could be more synergistic!
nothing special, i am here just looking for advice from people with much more experience in this field.
thanks

In response to Rdavwhitaker's query, if you're using a really low output MC cartridge, you might be better off with a decent quality solid state phono preamp, as there will, "typically", be less of a noise floor than with a tube preamp. (That is one reason why I prefer having a solid state preamp, and having tubes in my amp.) My Dynavector XV-1S cartridge, (0.3 MV output), has no issues whatsoever with my solid state preamp.

Another two cents from me.

I use an SS phono stage in my otherwise all tube system and it works extremeley well. I am a devoted tubophile but do find that they are not as quiet as SS when amplifying very small signals and that I experienced much better bass extension. I have a Dynevector 20x HO so I was able to buy a Graham Slee Graham Amp 2 SE for about $450 brand new. It is the MM or HO MC model in their line. I have a great deal of confidence that their upscale models are even better than the one I have which is astonishingly good.
There are a ton of good choices in that price range I am sure you will find a great one without having to break your budget.

I never read a bad review of the Grado PH-1 ($500). I have one with a tube preamp and a low output MM (0.5mV) and love the sound. Crisp and airy highs, thumpy tight bass, high headroom doesn't distort when stressed.
