Phono stage with gain control?

Wright Sound WPP200C. It's exactly what you're seeking.

There is one for sale now, but it has a sale pending. Too bad.

The EAR 834P comes with and without a gain control. I tried running my own vinyl setup this way, using a Moscode SuperIt with gain control directly into my power amps. Sounded like hell -- limited dynamics, no richness or body -- compared to using an active linestage. Good luck, Dave

My Wright Sound WPP200C sounds tremendous plugged directly into the preamp inputs of my Leben CS-600.

The Wright is designed to be used directly into an amplifier. It's essentially a single-source preamp.

At the used price, it's a zero sum game. Try it, and if it doesn't work as you hoped, then sell it for what you paid.

Maybe I missed something, but a phono stage with a gain control is called a preamp.
