A Golden Tube SEP-2 or SEP-3 pre will do nicely for a very reasonable cost, includes remote, & may even have an internal phono stage if so equipped. Tubes also provide the option of rolling in different tube-types in order to alter sonic signature.
However, your existing equipment may have more available than you initially realize? Experiment with different upgrade AC cords, interconnects, perhaps even speaker cables. Other tweaks such as "shelving-over-Vibrapods" can also work wonders at times so if you haven't experimented with tweaks etc. then it's well worth your time.
