budget phono preamp choice


i am currently having a creek obh-18. however, its background hum or buzz is little bit too noisy to me. maybe it is too old, some part gets wrong. thinking of buying a replacement, couple come into my list,

cambridge audio duo/solo,

graham slee gram 2 se,

rega fono mk3

lounge lcr mkiii

i don't need consider mc currently. i am using a project debut carbon with ortofon red 2m.

please gives some suggestion. thank you very much.

The Mani is an excellent budget ($130) phonostage. The linear power supply could be added later.
I had a Schiit Mani for a couple of years and loved it. I got a Swagman Labs LPS for it a it really sang. I would not hesitate to recommend the Mani with a LPS.
Although I haven't heard the Puffin, I would be wary of it because it converts the signal to digital and then runs it through a DAC for the output.  That's the last thing I want in a phono stage.  Just my opinion, of course.
Just buy a used Realistic 42-2101.You can get one of them for around $50 and they sound very good.They are a classic simple fully discrete design and will compete with modern units in the $1000 plus range.
