Assuming you're going to be using moving magnet or moving iron carts, I'd recommend the DB Systems DB-8, but it's $300 and you might not want to spend that much.
I have a DB Systems DB-1 preamp and the onboard phono stage is essentially the DB-8. I had a stand alone DB-8 years ago that I foolishly sold and wish I had back.
Right now, I'm also using a Schiit Mani II for the second turntable and it's OK but if I had to do it over again I wouldn't have bought it.
U-Turn Audio's Pluto 2 gets good reviews, it's $109. I've never heard one.
If you want to go really cheap, there's the Fosi Box X1 at $40.

Follow Ups:
I have no idea what all the moving magnets and iron carts mean. I'm limited on the stereo lingo and just trying to get my turntable to work with the receiver and speaker system I have. I'm thinking this is a bad idea and just selling the JVC receiver, Kenwood turntable and 90 albums would be the better option.
...get the Fosi. It'll serve you perfectly. For $40 you can't beat it.
You can get it from Amazon.
And consider yourself lucky that you don't fuss over this stuff like the rest of us do.

Not sure if I can do this, if not please remove. Is this a pre amp I could use in this setup

this will do the trick, no muss, no fuss.

Did I miss something or does he want 220 v?
Or any subsequent replies.

Sort of hinting your link is for a 220v item.
As far as I can see it's auto-switching when you plug it into the wall. It sees 120 volts and puts out the appropriate power accordingly
"One of the most common uses of auto-switching AC adapters is in laptops. They can support both 110 volts and 220 volts"
Oh, I was looking at the big print
Not the small print buried in the image gallery
So the answer is: I did miss something!
Another Inmate I correspond with has one. I nearly bought it from him and probably should.
I ended up with a Schiit Mani II instead and I don't think the Mani is all that great.
