What's a desirable setup for taking samples off vinyl in a recording situation?

I mostly sample for beats n stuff, and for a while it's concerned me such a vital link in my recording is Technics 1200 to 05Pro (DJ mixer) to sampler, or now DAW/softsampler. I feel I should give some more serious consideration to how to improve this particular piece of the chain.

Being hip-hop, I dunno that an audiophile restoration-type setup is called for, but I figure I should at least do something about the pre-amp. Any thoughts?

Peece,
