Phono Pre?

Looking to upgrade my old Audio Alchemy Vac In The Box phono pre. What are your recommendations for budget replacement (new or used)? I am partial to the higher output MM cartridges. Thanks for any insite you might have.

Seduction, it has a sweet sound. I have a Wright WPP200c and it has a very tube sound so if your amp is SS it may be an option. Its a bit too tubey for me except for classical where it rocks.

The Pro-Ject Tube Box/se/II may be an option but not with stock tubes. Its good but the Seduction is better no the best

I use my Seduction with the Shure V15-V-MR on a jelco 250st and HW-19 mkiv.

It is a great combo, warm but not too tubey, a sweet sound i listen mostly to classical and blues with rock and jazz. Great all around performer
