I'm a little confused. The (Bottlehead) quickie wasn't a phono stage.

Quickie was a line preamp, a cheap and good phono is "Very Simple Phono Stage".
You can build one for pennies!

The Quickie is discontinued.  The VSPS is available as a board or kit from phonoclone.

That is about twice the price of a quickie.

Nice phono, BTW
