https://doukaudio.com/products/douk-audio-h5-hifi-tube-mm-phono-preamp-w-sub-outonly $90 and 10% coupons can be found regularly. I'm really amazed how great this tiny thing is. no remote, so perfect for desktop use.
I intended to keep this for times when I was in between full size preamps, like when I sell and buy a new one.. but it's so great I'm using this as my main preamp in my desk system now. I threw in a MUSE 02 dual dip8 opamp in there to replace the ne5532 and that might be helping it a little but wow I encourage everyone to give this a try
edit: added pics. also lol don't forget to turn the bass and treble tone controls to 12 o'clock - the neutral position. I had them turned alllll the way down the first day and felt like a moron when I realized that. no wonder it was easy listening at first lol
