Phono Amp recomendation


I am currently using an old Adcom GTP500 receiver as my preamp and phonostage for a MMF 2.2 turntable. It sounds "fine" to me, but I've heard that much improvement would be gained from a dedicated phono preamp. Need to stay in the $200-300 range unfortunately.

Side question, anyone had any luck with the herbie record mat?

I wanted to grab the Bellari, but I heard from multiple audio stores that the amp will hum where I live.
thanks everyone. that vista looks interesting. i think i can demo the cambridge 640 at my local audio store, so i might do that. Trying to decide right now whether to spend my last $$ on the phone amp, or spend it on a herbie record mat that i've heard good things about and on some record cleaning equipment. decisions...
