Cheap And Cheery Phono Preamps

A pyle
I'm on the lookout for an inexpensive phono preamplifier for downstairs. I spotted this homely little Pyle PP-999 box on Amazon for under $22. It's just about as simple as it gets - a set of stereo inputs and outputs on opposite ends of a metal box with a 12 VDC power jack somewhere in the middle.

There's a similarly austere sub-$20 unit from Behringer which looks to be about half the size. Does anyone have experience with either of these little devices? Any other suggestions for a decent ultra-cheap phono preamp?
