Ditch the internal preamp, use the direct out, i think it is labeled Phono. Get a preamp. There are a number of sub 200 buck ones available that sound much better than the AT built in. Get a better cartridge the AT95E is not bad, but not stellar. maybe a Shure ME97xe will sound better :).get adjustment tools... there are a lot of protractors for free. Get a cheap stylus force gage. Shure makes a mechanical one and there are plenty of cheap digital ones. Either will be more accurate than the float and adjust method. It takes a bit of time and patience to get the best sound out of what you have. The skills you acquire to setup the AT properly will be with you even when you get your Redpoint XX table :).
Read the articles under Cartridge and Turntable Setup Links in the FAQ.
