Help Looking For a Balanced Preamp

Thanks everyone. I already have an excellent phono so no need there. 

+1 rhljazz for the Freya or at half the price the Saga, but it's single ended, no need for balanced unless the interconnect runs are over 8mts.
 It's the Schiit. Could even beat the OP's reference preamp.

Cheers George

There are two Classe CP-35’s listed here for under $500.

Used a Meridian 502 and now a G02 for my temps.  Both balanced and theae had the factory phono stages

Cool looking passive preamp, however it seem this preamp designed for desktop 'Active' speakers. 

Classe 60 used.

Look at this on eBay http://www.ebay.com/itm/252573738667

How about the Schitt Audio Freya for 699.00.  It can be used as a passive, tube output or solid state.  It has balanced outputs and remote as well.  I have not heard one, but spec and price would make it perfect for a backup preamp.
