Tube Preamp W/Phono Stage Suggestions...
I really like my Rogue Audio RP-1. I think the 1 and 5 are both based on their RP-X platform. It help take the edge off my old Rotel class D amp and create some space. I called them up prior to purchase and they answered the phone and answered my ... 
This is pretty funny and probably true for most of us
A lot of stuff may be on the market soon.  I went to a demo event in Denver at ListenUp last night.  It had to be 99% male and the average age had to be ......well old.  Audiophile types are old dudes.

New to forum and Vinyl
I agree with the previous poster.  Save your money and get a $500 Pro-Ject or Rega.  They are good value.   Get it set up correctly and you won't have to mess with it.  Spend your time listening instead of tinkering.
