Just because you have an all ss system, don't think that you need a tubed phono stage. I made that mistake and it wasn't the sound I liked.
The phono stage was a Zesto andros, yes it sounded nice, just not to my liking. I ended up with a Simaudio Evolution 610. That's out of your price gap, however you might want to consider the Simaudio 310lp and 320 power supply which fit well with in your budget.
