Recommendations for a phono amp

Hello all: I've been getting some advice from the Amps-Peamps board the on rounding out a system using some old and new components. Here's what we have so far: Adcom GFA 5500 amp, Audio Research LS2 preamp, Klipsch RP-160M reference premiere bookshelf speakers (new), an old Yamaha turntable, plus a tuner and CD player that we're not certain we'll use. The turntable/cartridge combo is from an old kit and is nothing special -- Yamaha Stereo Turntable TT-300U3, cardridge -- Audio Tecnica VS245LP
I'd love recommendations on a phono amp to get the turntable up and running on this system. Budget is modest.

+3 on the Schiit Mani.  Good little phono pre that is low cost.

Same for the Pro-Ject Phono Box. I ran one on a second system for a few years and it was solid.

And to add one more to the list, the Parasound Zphono which to me, is a step up from the Schiit and Pro-ject.  There a few different versions and you can pick them up cheap on eBay.
