Help with uninspiring sound with my turntable.

Can anyone give me some suggestions what to do to improve my vinyl sound - I purchased a Wilson Benesch TT with their .05 arm and a Sumiko Celebration cartridge here on Audiogon. I have a Mac c500t pre-amp that is still breaking in . The sound quality is lac-luster, and particularly annoying is the vocals can sound "crunchy" and extremely edgy. I don't know how many hours the cartridge has on it. I have tried different loading impedance's - but something is so off I would really appreciate any ideas. I listen to Jazz and Rock albums mostly. Thanks for your input!

You also may want to try different loading for your MC.
I have 2 MC's, I use 100ohms for 1 and 1000 ohms for the other. Wire type, cable lenth and connectors can all effect loading.
You can the MM input to try 47k loading with out changing the MC loading.
Loading has alot to do with the dynamics.
