I continue to use and enjoy my Fosgate Signature phono pre. No longer in production, but I suspect you could find a nice used.

anything by Fosgate makes me drool....I presently have a Manley Chinook with the stock tubes. awesome!!!. I tried the Phillips tubes that are recommended but found the stocks more to my liking. Guess i could take the cover off to expose the tubes..LOL. If I did not have a Chinook I would definitely look into a Fosgate because of the great gear they have turned out over the years going  to back their surround sound processors of the 90's.   :thumb:

I have a Hagerman Cornet 2 that I built and with NOS tubes it is out of this world.

The Cornet 3 is available as a finished product. No longer uses a rectifier tube, has a solid state poser supply

I want to second Bottlehead kits. I just built the Eros phono pre. Great sound and fun in building.

Do you need to isolate the tube phono from vibrations more ?So I heard tubes were much more microphonic.

Rogers PA-1A - pricey but one of the best I've ever heard!
