I'd guess that the Yamaha's preamp is better, but its subjective and the only way to know for sure is try both and see what you like. You may find that the impedance of one or the other mates better with the 2M Red.

My Father sent me a box of 45s and I no longer have a record player. Albeit, I do have some old LPs stored away. So I thought it was time to get at least a serviceable record player.
I opted for the Denon DP-450USB. All the reviews say that the cartridge on this player is sub-par, so I have ordered the Ortofon 2m Red to replace it.
The question I have is on the best setup, based on what I have. The Denon player has a built in pre-amp and my Yamaha TSR-7810 has a Phono stage connection.
Would it be better to use the player's built in pre-amp? Or switch the pre-amp off and use the Yamaha's pre-amp? I suppose it is a matter whether Yamaha's pre-amp is better than the built in Denon player's pre-amp.
Any thoughts?
