Any opinions on the best "bang for your buck" preamp/with phono section-for under 500.00. Thanks in advance.

That is super tough. Anything with a good phone even 10 years old will be a lot more. You may be unrealistic but also consider an older and nicer pre-amp without phono and strap on a used Parasound PH-100 phono stage which you can find for around $80. If you are willing to do that, the best pre-amp for the money I know of in your price range is the Musical Design tube pre-amp designed by John Hillig in St. Louis. try to get an SP-2 over an SP-1. You will also like an older VSP Labs, Acoustat, or New York Audio Labs.
