Looking for a phono preamp


As the title implies, I am looking for a phono preamp. My budget is under $200.

I've only recently gotten into hi-fi audio, and this is really my first vinyl experience. My overall system is best described as mid-fi, current specs are listed below:

Amp: NAD C372
Speakers: Sonus Faber Concertino
CD: Technics SL-PD8 5 disc changer
TT: Music Hall MMF5, stock
Cartridge: Shure M97XE

Also, has anyone used the USB-compatible preamps? They look interesting but I'm not sure if they're worth the premium.

And I know the changer is holding me back, so let's focus on the phono preamp.

Thanks,
Dave

You might look at Haglabs Bugle. You can dig around on Audioasylum for commentary/reviews.
