I suggest getting a used BAT VK-P5. If you want to use low output moving coils, add a K&K SUT.

Rogue Ares, IMHO it rivals the zesto (I owned both at the same time)

Tube? right. never mind.

Manley Chinook. End of story.

Mark is spot on with the Chinook, add some NOS Philips PCC88 tubes and hold on for dear life.

Another for consideration is the Allnic 1201 phono. I think it retails for $2998, but you can talk to Sunil or Mark about it. Steve (Petro85) had one and loved it.

I'm not one to preach the Stereophile gospel, but why not get a Stereophile A rated ss, e.g. sutherland 20/20, nagra bps, lehmann decade at that price point, and get some tube sound from a preamp or amp.
