RE: Looking for an inexpensive decent phono preamp as a gift for my daughter

Two standouts seem to be the Lounge and Vista.

Vista isn't quite as well known, but has accolades that say it beats several in the $1K range. While Lounge is 47K MM only, Vista is very flexible with plug in resistors. Gain can be adjusted up to 70dB and multiple sets of resistors are supplied for various loads.
It can be ordered with a custom configuration with any value of default resistance or capacitance, even no default resistance so the value you plug in is it.

I haven't heard either of these. I've been thinking about another phono and these two seem like top contenders for this price.
