High gain preamp tube Best current production 12AX7 Great tone and low noise
A tube buffer is OK, but for the real tube sound I'd go, and do go, with a fully tube pre. It's over your budget by $20, but the Little Bear T11 has been very good for me. If I was in your shoes and wanted something for right around the $200 mark, I'd go with the Little Bear T2 and roll out the stock 6N2 tubes with a pair of Genalex Gold Lion 12AX7's.

This comes to $10 over your budget, but it will give you a great pure tube phono preamp.
