Titian,

If you ever get to London, I would reccomend visiting Tron (they are based near Heathrow).

Graham Tricker (of Tron) makes the finest phono stage Ive ever heard. His own phono stage was made without any compromise to price, but he has never officially launched it, because the price would be too prohibitive.

I wrote about it on groovehandle once - essentially a four box phono stage, with seperate power supplies to each channel. The whole thing is single ended, and uses what looked to be variants on 300b valves.

I honestly believe it to be world class, with a presentation much as you described.

For me, it would be on the audition shortlist if I won lottery money, but might be within your budget! who knows...

There arent really any 'standard' Tron products, his components are bespoke items for each customer.

This is their website (they are also the importers for J C Verdier, Avantgarde, Schroeder tonearms, Allearts cartridges etc)

Wish I could have one too... maybe we should burgle him !!! hehe
