What phono pre am I looking for?

It needs to be quiet, fast, dynamic and not cost an arm and a leg, $1500? Plays nice with a VPI/dynavector 20x2 low without a sut. I listen and enjoy most everything but, the British Invasion, Willie Nelson, Gillian Welch and jazz take the cake. I have tubes, an LTA pre, decware set amp and omega speakers. 
The new channel islands peq-1 looks mighty fine and dusty uses the 20x2 as his personal cart, which can't be bad?  New or used no problem.

+1 for chakster & invictus. SS is the way to go with a phono stage for the reasons stated.

I bought a new audio alchemy with their optional power supply about a year ago & really like it. I'm not sure how it compares to the others mentioned but it replaced an older sonic frontiers unit (which I still have) and easily betters that. The cost would be around $1500. It has 2 inputs. Currently have 2 arms set up, both for MM, although it does well with LOMC's as well. Just a thought.
