hifishark is an excellent recommendation.  I go there all time whether or not I need to.  You can also look for the Krell unit or anything else that suits you.  For example, when I decided to get away from pre/pros when I had the SP1.7 and move to a preamp with HT Bypass, I initially picked up one of these used - https://www.hifishark.com/model/integra-dtc-9-8    As of today, it doesn't of course have the latest surround modes like Atmos but it was excellent for HT (better than the Bryston SP1.7) but wasn't all that great for music (didn't need to be as I was going to use a 2-channel preamp for that).  There's information about that unit here - https://www.soundandvision.com/preampprocessors/508integra   and  here   - https://hometheaterhifi.com/reviews/receiver-processor/processors/a-secrets-surround-sound-processor-review/   and here - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SyXbPBKwqKw  among other places.  It does have a phono stage but I haven't had a turntable since 1983 and I'd think it wouldn't be any more than mediocre at best.
