Try an Acurus P10. It should be available at the high end of your price range. It has internal DIP switches and no power switch, but once you get the settings right, it sounds great for the price.

Budget Phono Amp / Stage Recommendation?
Hello all, I have decided to take the plunge into analogue!
I intend to purchase a used Thorens TD-150 and would need your recommendation for a budget (under $200) phono amp / stage (new or old?). I do hope for it to be MM and MC, just for the flexibility to test the differences.
Some recommendations have been: 1) NAD PP2 or PP3, 2) Pro-ject Phono Box II, 3) Cambridge 640p, 4) Bellari V130, Graham Slee Gram Amp 2 SE.
I need a strong push to a specific model based on the current system that I have. Any comments would be appreciated.
My current system:
CD source: Rega Apollo
Amp: Primare A10
Speakers: Mission Cyrus 781
