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?

ifi Zen or Parasound becoming more interesting the more I read about them.

Schiit Mani noisy? Not the one I had. Great unit for the price.

Hagerman Bugle 3 - $200 and sounds great for the money!

Get the Cambridge Duo. Best measuring phono over at ASR.

If not that, get the schiit mani.
