Good stand-alone phono preamp?


Need a good phono preamp for a high-output MC cartridge. Can't spend mega-bucks but want a nice, high-definition unit. What do you recommend? Thanks in advance. Associated equipment: BAT VK-5i MR RM-200 Magnepan 1.6QR LP12 w/ET-2 DV 20X

Thank you for all of the posts so far. I've heard that the Musical Surroundings Phonomena is a good unit. Anyone with experience on this one? Thanks in advance again.
Does anyone have experience with either the Audio Electronic Supply PH-1 (Cary) or the ASUSA PP-1? Both are available in kit form, tube based and use passive RIAA EQ. Thanks again.
I'm going to order the Audio Electronic Supply PH-1 kit. At $399 there isn't too much else available. I'd like a BAT VK-PH5 or ARC PH-3 but can't swing the cost at the moment. Thanks to all of you for your opinions!
