I'm Dennis.
I also have an AVI FM tuner Mk 1 which I do not need because I bought the Mk 2 which has other bands as well.

FWIW the Tron is the line stage, and does not have a phono stage. The Tron is a top quality piece of kit, and although it sounds superb, i'm only selling because my dream preamp has become available, and should be a better match to my 861 power amp that i'm rather fond of
Paul (reffc) has a Tron / Radford combo that he is also rather fond of !

I have an Emotiva xSP-1 pre amp which is quite excellent. I'm contemplating selling if you want to discuss. It has balanced and single ended outputs, separate variable sub outputs if needed and a rather good mm/mc phono stage. I don't know what stage you have but the Emotiva's might just give it a run for the money. More specs here.

I would be looking for half your budget if I decide to sell.
Cheers, Ian
well have a research into them as they have a very loyal following . I have had the 36.5 and the 36.5 dm [2 box version ] and currently have the anniversary on demo while mine is away . the back up from dan is exceptional

Check out AD Audio (David Coe) of this parish (in Trade impressions section on AoS)
Makes stunningly amazing Pre Amps without or with phono stages.
I can vouch for the 'Satchmo' pre as I have just taken delivery of one which I commissioned
Truly remarkable for the sort of money you were talking about. For me the end game!
The beauty of this approach is He will listen to what your requirements are and your listening preferences
And match your power amps

I'm considering selling my Croft 25 line pre-amp, owned from new. It doesn't have remote control but a module can be retrospectively fitted by a Croft dealer with blessing from the designer. Not quite sure on price yet but well within budget.
