Control amps: suggestions needed

A friend just bought a Yamaha MX-600/U power amp.  He didn't realize it was a power amp, he thought it was an integrated amp.  It's working, using an old integrated amp as the control amp.  He needs a better control amp.

I use a Threshold FET-10 control amp and would recommend he find one of those,but he likes tone controls and the FET-10 doesn't have them.  So I'm looking for suggestions.  He needs a phono input (MM) so it has to include one of those.
