Allnic, Manley and Herron are quite common. Interested in what else is out there that is not mentioned often. Good enough performance at the level of entry level Allnic and above. Lamm is great, I know.
+1 on the recommendation for Croft. I'm using a Pear Audio Classic Phono, designed and built by Glenn Croft. It's easily the best sounding MM phono preamp I have ever owned and it plays nicely with all of my SUTs for MC needs.
Any chance of a photo(s) of the interior of your PAB Croft.
noromance, I will do so as soon as I can. I painted the living room last weekend and have everything packed away. Now it's a rush to restore the room before Thursday.
I used to be a dealer for Pear Audio, and I did once do a side-by-side comparison of the PAB Classic Phono to the Croft RIAA phono stage. The board and parts were quite different, as I recall.
