new to me turntable and preamp

Looking to upgrade my turntable and preamp, and I'm just barely dipping my toe into this hi-fi thing. Was looking at the Rega and Pro-ject tables for price and looks (no matte black please), but the more I read the more I'm not sure about that. I've seen some systemdek IIX around as well. Just dropped money on speakers so don't have an unlimited budget. My table now sounds like a squirel after 1 hour or so of play.

My current system (get ready to laugh)
Yamaha HTR 5540 receiver
Linn Keilidh speakers
Gemini XL-BD40 w/ ortofon OM S
Radio Shack Stereo Preamp

anyone have any thoughts??

The tuner pre was passed on to me by someone I recently
purchased a new pre so I would like to help him on his way
this a wonderful hobby. I also am new to Audiogon and high end equipment, since last summer I aquired an amp preamp turntable and last Fri. a set of Vandersteen 2ce speakers
Good luck with your system.

I'm a firm believer in everything set to flat
I don't use tone controls or the loudness switch
As far as interconnects I like audioquest copperheads and Canare speaker wire (very resonable)
