Recommended Pre-Amps under 1k?

Good day everyone! I am looking at Pre-Amps under 1k. I know it’s a very tight budget….

So far the Schiit Freya S and Freya + are well regarded. I am open to any suggestions. It does not need to have a DAC or phono input just FYI.

thanks guys

I have found that buying used got me into some wonderful gear that I would have never even been able to consider on the new market. Maybe something to consider.
