A used Blue Circle BC21, maybe the new BC21.1 which I have not heard. BC will still make the BC21. The difference is in the type of tubes. A matter of taste.
A used Counterpoint SA-3000 hybid pre with phono ($500-$800)...maybe a used Audible Illusions w/phono for $1000-ish. If phono isn't required, you could go with a Counterpoint SA-2000 (identical to 3000, but no phono) for even less.
