The type of sound that you are describing I usually associate with the older tube gear, like the Audio Research SP3 or the Conrad Johnson PV5. Unfortunately, these are full function preamps but you could just use the phono section. These devices are hard to find and are now quite old (some service probably required).

"Some service required" can be a very tricky situation in itself a lot of the real good guys are gone I mean gone forever. I personally need someone who grew up building kits and went deep into it after that all others are not too good with the work in my experience they mean well but are not there yet.

I hear you but the availability of a good tech is largely a function of where you live. As the OPI lives in central California, I would have thought that there would be many competent techs to chose from. I could be wrong, though.

Terry you are right about location being a big part of what you can find on vintage audio repair and the west coast is full of some very good techs without a doubt. Glad you pointed that out.

Cool. Thank you. I'll look into these.
Or any Fisher tube receiver.
I agree, but a Fisher receiver is not a phono preamp.
Correct but a Fisher Model X 101 B sure does sound nice and it looks great too really a nice pc of work.
