Good phono preamp for $50?

My grandma just gave me her turntable... This is my first turntable. It's an Akai AP-100C. I'll be using it primarily for sampling. It uses an Akai PC100 cartridge and an Akai RS100 stylus (which I'm also looking to replace). This is a belt drive turntable and I need a preamp for it. What's a good, accurate-sounding preamp in the $50 price range? If the preamp can give a nice warm sound, that'd be a plus.

edit: its not like a vocal preamp which can run you some SERIOUS cake, for now just go with something like this I would suggest...

may as well get a cheap used DJ mixer to at least have some EQ knobs aside from the preamp...

just get whatever $50 preamp you find.

or a dj mixer.

at $50 it doesn't matter.

This.

$50 will get you something decent. So will $75. A good mixer can be $250 to $2,000.

Shop around and check the specs for what you need before buying.

I'm using ART DJ Pre II.

This is my first preamp ever, so I can't do a comparison but the reviews say it's pretty damn good for the price of it.
