You need a separate phono preamp.
You do not mention any phono pre, so i assume? you must have a phono in the Marantz.
A modern receiver with a phono is using only the cheapest op amp for a phono section!
Buy a real phono preamp and you will get way more from that than any other change.
Clearaudio Nano $350.
Vincent PHO-8 $360 My recommendation.
