Phono pre amp

I had to send my intergrated amp in for service and I'm looking for a decent , inexpensive phono pre-amp to use temporarily with my Arcam SR250? I have a Project and don't care for the sound quality. Any suggestion would be appreciated.

Another vote for the Schiit Mani.  You can find them used for $70-$80.

Sota Pyxi.

Using it with my Rega P10. Nothing I auditioned that sounded better.

Also, Sota is a fantastic company, some of the finest customer support I've experienced.

Schiit products are solid for the price.  If you are willing to spend a bit more, Lounge Audio LCR MKIII is an excellent phono preamp, starting at about $420.  The SQ I am getting from my Thorens TD 126 MKII and Audio-Technica cartridge is simply astounding … to me.
