    I have two friends that have had good luck with the Music Hall PA1.2:

    http://www.needledoctor.com/Music-Hall-PA1-2-Phono-Preamp?sc=2&category=401

    $150 from needledoctor.com (but can be found cheaper used on Agon). It's a good first phono preamp (until you get the bug for tubes and increase your budget five fold!).

    I have Cambridge Audio Azur 640P MM/MC phono preamp, which for some reason I haven't used for like a month now (too lazy, I guess).

    Comes with original box, unopened manual, UK and US power supplies. Bought in UK. Let me know if you might be interested.

    Would you be opposed to a complete pre-amp with MC and MM inputs? I have a Rotel RC-870 in mint condition with original box and manual that I am probably going to sell.
