inexpensive phono pre amp

Buying a Project Project Debut Carbon Evolution turntable for my daughter to go with a line stage integrated amplifier and need an inexpensive expensive phono pre amp to match the Sumiko Rainier cartridge. Considering the Schitt Mani, Parasound Z, Rega Phono Mini A2D mk 2, Cambridge Audio Alva, NAD PP 2e, IFI Zen and Project Phono Box S2. Thoughts?

I have a QHW "The Vinyl" from Spain. At$775, it's not exactly a budget unit, but it doesn't have a stratospheric price tag either. This phono pre is the real deal and sounds fantastic. Has MC and a MM section that isn't a after thought. Give it a try. Has a money back guarantee.

MoFi makes a phono preamp in the $300 range that gets great reviews and even has a mono switch.
