    Best Pre-Amp for a Phonograph

    I have a denon 1905 receiver but there is no phono input with this...and i have a lot of vinyl that i adore.
    so...i need a phono pre-amp.
    money is an object, so what is the best i can get for under $120?
    i've read about two so far, and the specs honestly mean nothing to me...
    perhaps someone can help

    They are the Pro-Ject Phono box (specs follow) for $119

    Input Sensitivity MM 5mV / 1kHz
    Input Sensitivity MC 0.45mV / 1kHz

    Output Voltage 200mV / 1kHz

    and the TCC TC-750
    Audiophile Quality Phono Preamp

    gold-plated jacks and black anodized metal casing

    for $60 bucks.

    don't know which will be better...poor sound quality bugs the crap out of me, and i know what all of the music should sound like.
    thanks for any help
