need an audio receiver for both turntable and ipod

What is the best 2 or 2.1 channel audio receiver that will allow me to plug in a turntable (grounded phono input) and an easy adapter to play my ipod classic thru the speakers? I'd like to spend under $500. The local guys recommend Yamaha R S300.

I would take a look at the Harmon Kardon 3490

Or this Outlaw Audio Receiver-
