Amp or phono pre + pre for better sound?


Ok, I am trying to decide whether to get the Accuphase A-65 amp first or the C-2420 pre + C-27 first from my dealer. I can't afford all 3 units at once. Which unit would make the most positive difference in sound?

Currently I am using the Bryston amp (4BSST) and Bryston preamp (BP6P)

I know this is a compromise, but it's the best i can do...

JBL S4700 speakers.

My system is displayed here in that part of the forum under "Done for Now."

Thanks for your time and help!

Preamp always made a bigger difference in any system I have had and the phono is the most important!
Ok, thanks to you too. Just to let all of you know, the pre + phono package is approx. $3k more than the amp alone. Which is one of the reasons why I'm leaning towards getting the amp.
It looks like I'm getting the phono preamp first. I'll keep all of you posted...thanks again. Any more comments are welcome.
