Best Phono Preamp for Music Hall MMF-5

I have been making the slow descent into vinyl, recently. I managed to find an excellent deal on a Music Hall MMF-5 here on Audiogon. I love the turntable, but am having a bit of trouble finding a preamp to match it with. I am currently using the NAD PP2 and it doesn't have the gain I prefer or the overall sound. I would like to find a preamp with a gain of 40 or so. I've been considering the Parasound Zphono. Some say it's an excellent preamp, while others say it's noisy. I was hoping to get a few opinions before I began auditioning. I live in a rural area and will have to rely on mail order, so it will hopefullly save me a few trips to the post office. Any help is appreciated.
