Best budget $100 - 200 Phono Pre-amp?

After listening to NAD, Project, and Creek, the Rega fono was the best. Used = $180. Not easy to find though.

spend an extra $25 and get an Antique Sound Labs Mini Phono.

Excellent sounding, and a super bargain.

Hagerman Bugle, although it is a DIY 1/2 KIT. About $100-125 for the 9V battery power. About $175 to build one with the 15V AC power supply. You'd think with parts cost alone you'd be ahead off all the commercial <$200 units and probably a lot of the <$500 ones as well. It's supposed to be in "Black Cube" territory from what I've read.

Rotel RQ970BX. Positive reviews site surprisingly high quality parts and overachieving sound quality. It does sound better than anyone should expect for $200 retail.

Vlad1456, are you DIYer? $200 buys you all the parts necessary to build EAR834 clone.
If you are not, then look into used ones. B&K Phono 10 is not bad.
