I took out the built in preamp on my turntable, and POW!

I've known about this issue since I got the table now 13 years ago. I finally set aside some time, took a shot of whiskey, got my tools and YouTube at the ready and removed it. The red/white/ground wires were fucking crazy thin. I ended up needing to use my wife's cuticle trimming tool because my wire strippers were fucking it up. Anyway, what an insane difference in sound! I had no idea how much mid and high range frequencies were getting squashed by that preamp. I understand that Audio Technica now makes a table without one in there. Good thing! *Photo below!
