Has anyone had success with a preamp with a Marantz PM 8006?

Oh, I probably will not.  I listen to primarily Vinyl and I was wondering if anyone uses a phono preamp.  Just curious to see if anyone has had any success.  I am content with what I have right now.

I currently have a Garrard 301 (Oil bearing) turntable with an SME 3009 non improved arm with a Ortofon 2m Brown Cartridge.

I agree with both of you.  I just purchased a [aor Klipsch Heresy IVs and need to wait "for the dust to settle" to make another significant  purchase.
