Phono Preamp Recommendations


If I wanted to spend about $150 or so on a used for a phono preamp what brands and models should I be looking for?

For that price. look into a used Bellari VP-129 or 130. I have one in my second system and for the money they are quite good.
Not that I've heard them all but I preffered the Musical Fidelity V-LPS to the Cambridge 640P.
So if I have warts and gray hair and bad breath I need to get the Cambridge as it is obviously a cure-all?

Here're the specs on the system to which it will be connected, in case it changes any assessments:

AR XB in transit, not sure if I will put new cart on it or not yet. Has the factory Shure 91 and a Pickering XV15-400E. The Phono pre will be connected to this table.

Denon DP-7F with Audio Technica AT450 w/ brand new Shibata stylus on the Phono line of the existing preamp.

CD, Reel, cassette & CD Recorder, and ADS D to A USB converter

Optimus STAV 3400 acting as preamp. (on the to be replaced soon list)

Adcom GFA-545 Mk2

JBL LX-500s.
