Phono Stage for passive preamp control

Considering transformer-based passive preamplification. Can anyone suggest a quality tube phono stage with sufficient gain for lower input MC pickups in such a configuration ($2K new or used range)? Don't need volume control on the phono stage, but could go with one that wil bypass the volume control. Am I restricted to a SS phono stage in order to have sufficient gain WITHOUT a step-up device?

I thought a "Musical Surroundings Phonoemna" would work good for a Passive. I had talked to Paul Lamm who stated it was the best affordable solution to use with a Passive.

They show up used for an affordable price.

It is on my list of components I want when $$ is not an issue.
