Buckingham - you might want to check out the Supratek Triode preamp. If you want line stage only, it will cost you 2,100 new from the "factory". With phono, it will cost 2,400. I have compared this preamp to many other VERY high end preamps up to 15,000 and my latest Supratek absolutely kills them. Supratek just released a modification to the old design which is supposed to be better than ever.
