Suggestions for a Phono Preamp.
If you are looking for a budget phono pre-amp, the Schiit Mani 2 is an excellent choice. Plus they have a trial/return policy, so you could return it if you don't love it. $150, and your done... Until you decide to upgrade again...

@ghosthouse  - Dada - Puzzle One of my favorites! Saw the 20th anniversary tour a few years ago, and they were awesome!  
Any Decemberists fans out there?
