Suggestions for a Phono Preamp.

I currently have an Audio Technica PEQ3 Phono Preamp in my setup. I am using a Pro-Ject Debut III as my turntable. I am going to keep my preamp and get a newer one for around $200 to $300 dollars. I am thinking about a Bellari VP130 or staying with Pro-Ject and getting their Phono Preamp. Any suggestions? Thank You.

In that price range, don’t forget to try out a Parasound zPhono. 
Really good for the price.

Not in any particular order…

Parasound zPhono

MoFi Studio Phono

iFi Audio Zen

Schiit Mani

Take a look at loading options and what best matches your cartridge and future scalability (e.g. Schiit may be schiit with a MC cartridge).

I agree 100%. After trying the usual suspects I tried the Lounge Silver, and wish I'd started there. I am using Michell, Rega and a Sumiko Amethyst cart.

Agree with the Sim Moon I had a used one a few year back before making a substantial upgrade and it was outstanding at it's price.
