Does your turntable have a phono pre-amp built in or is your TT going into the PHONO input on your receiver. If it's the latter, this is how mine used to be set-up on my Onkyo TX-SR805. Once I added the phono pre-amp I changed the input to the CD (because you can't use the phono input anymore) and WOW what a difference, better frequency response and better gain, a much more accurate experience. I was already impressed with vinyl, but adding the phono made an extremely measurable difference in performance.
