Looks like I need another stage...suggestions?

Well, I purchased a Lehmann Black cubefrom someone on here on March 19th. Was to be shipped that week and to receive it by the weekend. No stage arrived, wrote back and was told it would be sent out overnight 2 thursdays ago so I would have it by last weekend. Well, still no stage and now no communication back to me in over a week. So, it seems I've lost $360. Needless to say, pretty upset as I'm selling and buying houses and about start med school, so $360 is a good chunk of change for me right now. And unfortunate because I'm afraid to buy anything else here....

Sorry for the rant, just can't beleive it...Anyway, looking for a phono stage in about the same price range and wondering about some other options out there, or is the Black Cube the route to go at that price?
