Counterpoint SA 5000 vs SA 5.1

I currently own a SA 5.1 and love it, with the exception of the low gain in the phono. I'm considering buying a pre-pre such as the SA 2 but am also wondering about an SA 5000.

Does anyone one know how an SA 5.1 would compare against an SA 5000? Phono is my main source.
Thanks,
Robert

I had both SA2 and SA5000. I need both to work with my low output MC. The SA2 is okay but a bit noisy and not enough gain for my setup since the amp and speaker sensitivity is very low.
I modified my SA5000 with all vitaminQ oil caps as it gives a fuller sound over the stock.
