Nice MM Phone Preamp to use while main unit is getting repaired?

Looking for a nice (used) mm phono preamp to use for a while with my Decca London Super Gold. My Herron VTPH is going off to get upgraded. Hoping to find something that's nice sounding and easy to turn around in resale. I'd like to keep it to $500.

Thanks in advance for your suggestions!

When my phonostage had to be shipped off to be repaired, I picked up the $129.00 Schiit Mani.

The performance for the money was fine. Obviously no tube magic, but convincing enough to enjoy records.

I know how great the Herron is, I demoed one in my system to hear if it was worth selling my existing unit. I passed, but the Herron would be on my list if I were starting over.

Upgraded Herron? It's already an amazing piece. Can't imagine what can be better?
