Looking for a good phono preamp solid state...

Looking for a good phono preamp solid state under $500.
Either used or new (and only a phono preamp).

Any recommendations.

Thanks

The Slee could work with out the step-up if you are using a Moving Magnet. That would keep you in your price range. There is the Rogue Stealth unit, I have seen one used go here for $550. Many say this is a giant killer, also check AudioAsylum. There are alot more people listening to vinyl in that price range than on the 'Gon.

The Dynavector P-75 is also quite good, especially if you are using a Dynavector cartridge. Personally, I'd stretch for the Stealth over any other new or used sub $1K SS phono pre that I'm aware of.
