Whats wrong with my current phono pre stage in my Sansui G8700DB? Not much really, except for some hissing on s's and the mids-highs sounding a bit recessed. It functions fine but always looking for something better, I guess. Looking for more natural sound.

I have been considering the Jolida jd9 pre-amp. Its a modest price tube pre-amp for $450, but gets great (mostly) reviews. Has settings for different carts. Thought it would be fun to experiment with.

Anyone else not entirely pleased with the built in phono pre stage in the vintage receiver and try newer pre-amps?
