Gram Phono Amps?

I am looking for an inexpensive Phono Stage to use with a modified DUAL 5000 TT and ortphon(?) Cartridge.

I will be using a Pamasonic SA-XR45 which is not known to have a very good ANalog section.I tried some of my Silver Spiral Cables the other night and was impressed with the playback I did get though.

Seeing that Silver Cables are said not to work well with this unit I was impressed even more with my cables and I am hoping that the Phono Amp I do choose is a good match.

I was thinking of purchasing either of the following:
Musical Surroundings MM/MC Phonomena Phono Preamplifier
Gram
Hagerman

What are your thoughts of these units for an inexpensive PA or are there other low cost units I should consider?

TIA

`I used to own the Gram Amp 2, KILLER for the $$. Upgraded to tubes, but I actually miss this little pup a bit, very musical, didn't add much of anything, just detracted a bit.

Hard to find used, so expect to pay retail. At that point, a used Phonomena MAY be a better deal for a little bit more money.

My 2 cents.....
