You know, I tried to do some research so that I wouldn't sound terribly naive. D'oh. I guess I'm not sure (preamp+receiver). The receiver is surround 7 ch. and no more than 2 model years old.
Worth stepping up to a preamp?
I have a pretty basic setup - Goldring GR1.2 table powered by my $600ish Sony receiver, which has a phono input. I recently bought an acrylic platter but it didn't really work too well with the subplatter. My cartridge is LP Gear's "upgrade" on the Goldring Elektra.
Is it even worth me upgrading to a preamp? And how much $ would I have to spend for noticeable improvement? I'm still using 13-year-old Infinity RS425 speakers, although I'm probably going to upgrade, thinking about the Klipsch RF-5 (my CCS is from the same "family."
