<< I no longer listen to the TV via the hi fi >>

This in itself will make a huge improvement in sound quality. All modern TVs use switching power supplies that create incredible amounts of noise that gets into your audio system and screws up the sound if you try to combine audio and video. (Even the really old tube-type TV sets used a primitive switching power supply with a "flyback" transformer to generate the HV needed for the CRT.) It is *possible* to avoid these problems, but only by using very specialized (and expensive) equipment.

This is not to say that a good preamp doesn't make a big difference. (In my experience, *everything* makes a difference!) I'm just noting that your comparison wasn't totally a fair one.
