Beware: New (at least to me) scam being run on Audiogon members
As the OP, it's weird to me to see this thread suddenly reactivated out of the blue after 9 months. 
Give Bach a try
I have this Archiv boxed set on vinyl that I purchased in the last 60s. Still in absolute mint condition. I wonder how the sound of the two now compare. Interestingly the box says MONO on the outside but each disk is labeled STEREO. Gorgeous liste... 
What do you sit on?
Classic Eames lounge chair plus ottoman. Awesome chair. Never an effort to get out of to turn over vinyl. 
Sexy singer(s) and/or song(s)
Linda Ronstadt love songs on her multiple collaborations with Nelson Riddle. These all were outstanding recordings as well. Worth a listen just for the audio experience. 
Big source improvement using CD player
It may be too far down in this thread for this to be read by the original poster. Hoping that is not the case. I am going to answer the actual question that you asked and address it. You will have astonishing results doing what you have asked abo... 
Set-up with two subs and an integrated amp
millercarbon Great story hitting both subjects in one shot. Nicely done. Al is right. After you have one there is nothing else. Makes you smile every time you see it.

What do you think causes the crackle and clicks we hear?
Buy old records in great shape, clean them fully, use a Zerostat gun or other static remover, finish with carbon fiber anti static brush. You will have no more noise. 
Most recordings you own by a single artist, group, or composer
Bach, with Beethoven not far behind. 
Decent preamp
Just another way to look at all this. When I listen to the identical preamp you already have into a  McIntosh amp with the exact same output as your Aragon 2004 I experience a pretty extraordinary performance on all fronts with exceptional accurac... 
Decent preamp
Per itsjustme's comment above:Totally under the radar and far below your budget is the B&K Reference 30. Even though it’s a 5 channel, reviewers at the time felt that it’s 2 channel performance surpassed that of the B&K 2 channel preamp th... 
Jazz for someone who doesn't like jazz.
Can't miss. Stan Getz "The Best of Two Worlds" with Joao Gilberto

Happy Easter indeed. To those who celebrate the greatest gift of all, we can truly be thankful at this difficult time. Guten Pesach to our bothers and sisters who still await the Messiah and celebrate the release from bondage.  
Stuck at home? Make a kit!!
My local audio club had a virtual meeting a week ago on Zoom with Nelson Pass. He said that without question the happiest audiophiles he knows are DIYers. That was not said to sell kits as he was talking about all types of audio DIY.I'm game to tr...
