Need Phono Amplifier

Can someone please recommend a phono amplifier for connecting my Onkno turntable to my Arcan Solo Mini amplifier (line input)? Obviously, this is not a main system and I prefer not spend $200+ on this device. Radio Shack and Fry's Electronics do not carry phono amplifiers. I am looking for a unit in the range of $25 to $50. Is this possible? Are there any stores in the San Francisco Bay Area that carry inexpensive phono amplifiers?

Thanks...

Two suggestions:

Art DJ Pre II ($39.95 -w- free shipping @ Amazon).

Musical Fidelity V-LPS ($99.00 -w- free shipping @ Amazon).

I'm currently using, and highly recommend, the V-LPS (gave the Art to my godson).

Guitar Center used to carry the Art (more expensive than Amazon), but I don't know if they still stock it.

I would like to thank everyone above that has answered my phono question. These are all great suggestions that I am now reviewing. Audiogon is a great resource. Thanks again..

If you hurry, there's a NAD on auction here right now. It's currently at $43 and change with no reserve, but the auction ends in 1 hour.

The phono sections in NAD receivers have always been (IME and IMO) quite good for the $.

Good Luck.
