Phono preamp comparison


Would like some opinions as I am looking to buy one of the following phono preamps. Antique sound lab Mini, Channel Islands VPP, Creek OBH8. I tried the NAD 2 and it did not meet expectations.... I am on a very tight budget. <500....

I have been very pleased with the performance on my Lehmann Audio Black Cube SE, which can be purchased used on A-gon for around $450. This phono preamp has gotten consistently good reviews, and is included in TAS's "Recommended Components" list. If you decide to audition or purchase this phono preamp, be sure to get the "SE" version which has a much larger power supply than the original model.
