Pre-amp for microphone

[sonarstar]

I need a pre-amp for my AKG 3000 microphone and I would like to only spend about 250 dollars on it. I know that I cant really get an awesome on with only that much cash, so any ideas would be greatly appreciated. And if there is an awesome amp for more, let me know. Thanks everyone!
