Have a look at the Acoustic Plan Sarod. This is a very good preamp (comes with or without phono built in) with less editorializing of the sound then either EAR or AN. Most EAR preamps sound darkish and somewhat closed in sounding but not the 912, which is a really good preamp. The AN M5 is pretty natural sounding but warms things up a bit more than I think is realistic. Once you get to the AN pres with silver output transformers then the sound gets more neutral.
You should also consider the Manley Steelhead, which is primarily a phonostage but also has a line input. This is a very good sounding design as well.
