The only thing I've heard about the Blue Circle Thingee is how surprisingly great it is...The two that comes to mind is the Jolida JD9 and the Jasmine. I've also read good things about the Vincent Audio PHO-8 Phono Preamp, Clearaudio Nano Phono Preamp, Creek OBH-18 MM Phono Preamp, Musical Fidelity V-LPS MKII all in your budget... and also the Lehmann Black Cube Statement Phono Preamp at $500 and external Lehmann PWX Power Supply which is sold separate at another $500. I bet the Lehman units are great together.
