Cheap but decent preamp ???

Hello,
Putting together a second low cost system with older, mid-fi gear. I have an AMC 2100 amp, small monitor speakers, Sansui TU-517 tuner, NAD 5000 cd player, Sony PS-X500 turn table. I need a preamp with phono for < 200 if possible.
Any suggestions? My other system has tubes so I prefer warmer sound if possible.
Thanks,
pdspecl

How about the Adcom 555 MkII posted on Agon or the Apt Holman preamp?
Anyone with experience with these?

B&K Pro 10 would be great but doubtful for my budget.

Emotiva makes a pre for not too much $$.

This will be a new one, and it has bass management which is increasingly important in a 2.1 world.

Will is pass muster in an audiophile system?
They DO have a mailorder return policy, which helps with the 'risk'.
