Phono Preamp Selection

I have no idea of which Phono Preamp I should purchase.  I read the reviews from Audio Science and the author provides testing criteria and results for Phono Preamps. I do not have a awesome system - rather it is just a nice system. I reviewed (Pro-ject Phono Box DC MM/MC  / Cambridge Audio Duo / IFI Zen / Schitt Skoll ). My turntable is a MoFi with a Hana MC Cartridge. 500.00 is my budget as I am just a listener of old vintage records.  My amp is a Denon and my speakers are bookshelf Triangle(s). Appreciate your time and responses.

If I were you I'd be searching the used sections as you'll get much more for your dollar.

I tried 4 different ones, with the same budget (~$500). Ended up with the Moon lp 110 v2. Some integrated have terrific phono stages too, if you ever want to upgrade from the Denon.
