How much gain are you looking for? I am just getting ready to set up one of these myself, having resumed being a VPI dealer after a 14 yeas hiatus. EAR has a good reputation if you are looking at tubes. Check out the transformer in the Stereophile ratings, I think that there is one for $750 that is in class A, my issue isn't at hand.

It and the Sutherland PH-3D are the ones listed at a reasonable price. I can't give you a recommendation from personal experience because my preamps usually have enough gain and when they don't I use a Vendetta step up that hasn't been made in years.
