Best Bang for buck is integrated Amps , nowadays preamps are not doing much once they had phono section mm and mc tone controls and stuff .
Input selector and volume can reside in the amp , you may optimise the amp for this and for modest power this can actually be better ! separate pre and power only becomes necessary these days when it's start to outgrow the box with powerful amps. Box and PSU cost more than one thinks to do.
