Looking for an used, inexpensive pre amp

Currently using a cheap but fairly nice sounding Dayton T120 D class amp.  Not enough inputs.  I would like to find a pre amp to use with this amp and perhaps at some point, if I can find the money, I can buy a power amplifier to replace the Dayton.

Figure my budget to be under $200 right now.  Looks like plenty of older inexpensive Solid State pre amps are available on Ebay.  

Any ideas what I should look for when buying a preamp?  I've only used Integrated amplifiers up to this point.

As I always say, find a Counteproint SA-2000 and have it upgraded, caps, a few resistors, etc. and be done with it.  I can add tube rectification to it for an even better sound.  Will probably have better sound that most preamps up to $4K.

\Happy Listening.
