Looking for the best Preamp with a phono circuit built in


I have been using a Belles 28A preamp with a  built-in phono circuit for about 10 years...no complaints but I'm getting to the point of wanting to make some quality audio system purchases that will stick with me for the long haul. I'm 66 years old and not made of money; just want to relax and listen to the music.  I really don't want to go the separate phono pre / base pre route.  Please offer suggestions.
I live in Minneapolis and thus far at the top of my list is the Van Alstine (local company) Fet Valve CFR Preamplifier for about $2500.
I thank you for your feedback!

The Van Alstine is a solid choice and Frank will let you try it for 30 days.  
Frank makes great gear. He started out modding Dynaco PAT-5 preamps back in the day.

You should consider Audible Illusions Modulus 3, 3A or 3B. Great used pricing available on the A’Gon market site for a M3 preamp right now.
