I agree with David, saving for a better TT is well advised.
The Radio Shack "Little Rat" is a low cost, battery powered phono stage that has got some good user reviews considering its low cost. Don't confuse it with a "high-end" unit. It is okay for what it is, and it may be fine for your initial purposes, but I wouldn't consider it a permanent addition. That is, if you plan to get into serious analog playing.
Actually, if you want to "get serious" for a reasonable cost, you might look at David99's system. He has a very nice TT that is easy to operate and sounds real good. It is not cheap, but it is affordable for someone who is serious about their sound quality.
