Thanks for the suggestions Tarsando. I just bought some contact cleaner so I will give that a try. Nice thing is the repair shop does a free estimate. Had them work on a 2100 a while back and was happy with the results.
I hear what you are saying about an external phono amp, but really bought this pre with the phono stage in mind...really don't want to add too many components..
