Phono Pre-amp for my Krell KAV-300i

I just purchased a Krell KAV-300i. I was hoping someone out there might have a suggestion on the brand/model of pre-amp that would have the phono input I need to run my turntable plus "play well" with the Krell. This is the real kicker. I would like to keep it under $500.

I'm not opposed to buying something a couple of decades old...if I could find it.

Any suggestions????

Thanks

While the phono pre amp to your Krell integrated match is important,I think the phono pre to turntable/cartridge match is way more important.If you can provide some more info(TT,cartridge,etc.) I think you will get better responses to your query.There are many knowledgeable folks on this forum that will help you get started with some ideas but remember,you have to make the decision that's right for you and what you hear.Good luck.

I happen to have the same Krell integrated, paired with a Dual CS-5000 TT and Ortfon X3-MC cart. Any thoughts on what would be a good phono stage to pair with these two is much appreciated.
