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

Thanks

It has its own preamp built in. The Marantz preamp section usually sounds pretty good, unless you want to try tube preamp for some flavor.

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.

The answer is for his particular price point Marantz, probably best just enjoy what you have, or look at something like the Schiit Mani for $150. SQ improvement might not be that dramatic assuming the Marantz built in is decent for a price point appropriate table/cart setup.
