I haven't heard them, but Darlington Labs phono preamps appear to be a lot of bang for the buck.
Another option is a Sutherland KC Vibe MkII.

+1, @viridian
Softone Model 4, under $1,000 shipped from Japan. This phono stage delivers performance well above its price point and is very responsive to tube rolling, allowing you to tailor the sound character effectively. |
