Best phono preamp under $250

Will be hooking a Pro-ject Debut Carbon turntable up, but need a phono preamp so it's compatible with my AES AE-3 preamp.

Any suggestions new (preferably) or used for under $250?

The newer model that replaced it might be better. Plus, it has a rumble filter that I like. Inexpensive, seems to be built very well.
