So the phon pre dies again, right before holiday listening.

My highly modded Phonomena II has crashed again. Just got it back from being repaired, AND since it was sounding so good, I decided to try the AT F-7 cart instead of a new stylus for the 440MLa.

Now I'm in a pickle, and would really like to get something in the house so we can listen to records.

I’m talking with Boris at Vista, but also reading up on all the under $1,000 units out there. I've also just bought a few mono boxes as I had rigged my phono pre with a mono switch.

Jasmine? Used GCPH? Used Nova? What else should I be looking at?

I have a 40 watt tube amp and some odd speakers (MTM cap n coil) that are pretty sensitive and revealing. I was finding the 440MLa a bit too etched in this scenario.
