KAV-280P & TURNTABLE

Attention all you folks who really understand all these magic boxes ... After much yearning for many years I'm putting together what I hope is a sweet sound, but I've run into a big question. I have my vinyl table running into the Krell pre at S-3, but I can only hear any sound with the pre at max (waaay beyond 11), and even then only a very quite output. Do I need some sort of pre-pre to boost the mag signal out of the table?

Thanks

Any recommendations as to a topnotch phono preamp to use in front of the Krell?

I'm using an Esoteric Sound Restoation Deck, bought mainly for its 78 rpm capability and in storage for several years. The MM cartridge is a good quality item, just too long since I bought it to remember. I'm pushing all this (a Denon CD/DVD, Magnum Dynalab analog tuner and turntable) through a pair of Vienna Beethovens and am more the warm vocals and live soundstage type of listener. Looked at the V-LPSii but not available locally. That said, budget is always a concern but I'd like something that won't clip the freq's or muddy the sound of course. Any other suggestions are very much appreciated
