Preamp with phono section

I am in the market for a used solid state preamp with a good phono section. Does anyone have any recommendations. Budget is $2,000
There are several features that i would like:
1. Essential; phonosection (mm or mc), remote volume control
2. Would like feature; 2 pairs of analog out

The two that i have come across that look promising are:
1. Parasound P7
2. Ayre K1

All help greatly appreciated

There was a K-3 recently on Agon for $2k so that sounds like a good option.
McIntosh C220 would be great but its a little more than a wanted to spend.
Any thoughts on the Parasound?
I am of course also happy to spend a lot less...more money for media then

Tried to google the DR-6 as it looks really promising and definitely budget friendly. I could not however find any reviews from the "main stream" press.
Any suggestions?

You should investigate the Bel Canto Pre2p. The unit is well reviewed and very user friendly. Worth a look.
