I bought a TT--Need a phonopre

OK, I did it, I bought a music hall mmf 5.1 with a goldring1012GX MM cart. My first TT in 30 years. I am going to buy a phonopre tomorrow and I want to spend no more then $700.00 new or used. What should I get? I listen mostly to jazz.

Or you could spend considerably less for a Bellari VP129, and save alot of money for records!

Just a quick browse:
Audio Horizons TP-8.0 home audition
Acoustech.Krell KPE,EAR and Musical Surroundings Phonomena.
Time to read some reviews and also keep an eye open for comparatively priced units mentioned.

The Adcom GFP-565 pre is still one of the best preamps around, and it's phono section is outstanding. I believe the adcom was designed by john curl or at least helped in it's design. They are way under your budget in price and leave you with plenty of cash for Lps for that new TT...

Thanks to everyone for all the imput and time!! Lots of great ideas. I think I am going to just PICK one unit and see where I go. I don't think there is another way to do this. I have gone through this process with other pieces of equipment and have found there is no short cut, but that's what keeps it fun and interesting. Thanks again to everyone for there insight.
