Best sounding MC phono box at $250 or less??

Looking for recommendations for a a "used" MC phono pre-amp or phono box that is compatible with a Denon 103R moving coil cartridge. The Denon will be mounted on a Rega P3-24.

Also, check out this link below for phono pre-amp product offered on e-bay by "Harmonius Audio" Has anyone tried this product?? If so, did it sound good?? The price is surely right!!!!

The Schiit Mani looks pretty good for $129. That's what I would get at that price point if I didn't already have a Musical Fidelity V-LPSII, which are no longer produced. I have a few Schiit headphone amps and a Bifrost Uber DAC with Gen 2 USB. Despite the corny marketing, they make great stuff at amazing prices.

Czarivey - then you just gotta find a good suspension system for the turntable.

Bentley probably has one :-)

Yep, + roads of Carolina or California will do the trick.
I actually use it in my auto audio when on fleamarket selling records. Every time I do that I sell turntable and records

Czarivey - ever thought of selling the v-90 with the TT also? - It's a nice little package :-)

Do you hook it up to the car audio?

Cheers
