What is the best preamp to get for Marantz tt42
I have a Play 5 and the Marantz turntable. What would be the best preamp to get so that I get the same output levels as I do when streaming (or better)?

Hi Samuelsbay
This isn't the forum to get the best advice on what you are looking for. Also, best and what you can afford are not necessarily one and the same. However, we are here to help. I don't have this model but you might consider the Yamaha WXC-50. See it at Crutchfield:

You'll still require a Sonos Connect to play your vinyl to your Play 5 an other speakers.
Cheers!

No, the play 5 has line in jacks that can take the wired inputs from the pre amp, so the Connect is not needed if this wiring can be conveniently done.
As to the pre amp, these are largely commodities these days, and what is more important is to get one that meets the needs of the kind of cartridge the Marantz has. A MC cartridge would need a more sensitive preamp than an MM cartridge would, unless one gets the more expensive type that can take both kinds.
Of course, an audiophile would probably disagree and want to spend a lot more in the elusive search for "the best".
