| What brand was better than it is today? What’s wrong with today’s marantz products? Has any one even had a listen? I understand of course the legendary status of their 60’s amps etc....but some of what they produce today is pretty darn good, especially their reference series components,... | |
| I'm putting to rest worrying about sibilance There is no need to align to cantilever if it is parallel to the body. If your cantilever is that far off then maybe...but if that’s the case then you have a defective or poorly built cartridge and it should be returned. Plus it’s an eliptical sty... | |
| Help with picking new integrated for under 3k I like my marantz reference pm14s1 integrated amp. I got it for 2 grand as it was a customer return. It retails for $2999. So far it has provided everything I could want and need...nice analog warm sound. No digital inputs or outputs whatsoever, a... | |
| Am I considered to be a materialistic person? Hahahaha...well I guess I need them🤔....there is no help for me I'm afraid. I was just in a record store in Boston and the guy had a bin dedicated to just rca living stereo records...I could not just buy one...no....I had to buy like 10! 🙄🙄🙄 | |
| Am I considered to be a materialistic person? Ebay is a dangerous thing....I keep finding hard to find records I need......I mean want lol... | |
| If you still spin CD's their is a reference level Transport for reasonable money Why not just buy a nice marantz sacd player for a lot less money? I don't get it really....its a freakin transport. The marantz has both the transport and dac in one chassis and sounds amazing. Marants is known for their high quality cd players an... | |
| I'm putting to rest worrying about sibilance Thank you arrowheadrss, I’ll consider a test record. And yes I will have to break in what i have some more and then evaluate then. | |
| I'm putting to rest worrying about sibilance Arrowheadrss, I could have been off a bit in my estimate of course. Maybe 5 or 10 percent. Also do not forget, I buy mostly used records as well, so that would increase the likelihood of buying worn records or records with worn grooves. You cannot... | |
| I'm putting to rest worrying about sibilance Played certain records on three different tables, soon a fourth, all three with different set ups and cartridges. Sibilance there on all three, and I bet I’ll get it on the fourth as well. I dont have anywhere to take these records to play on a hi... | |
| I'm putting to rest worrying about sibilance I have all that....record cleaners, several, and I own pro jects tube box with adjustable loading from 10 to 1000 ohms, and capacitance as well for mm...I adjusted to about 450 to 500 for the hana el and I like the sound signature there. The vta i... | |
| I'm putting to rest worrying about sibilance I also do not think mid fi turtable manufactures would be in business if they let their products out the door knowing full well that they are riddled with sibilance issues! Some clear audio concept tt, music hall (mmf7 & 9), pro ject classic a... | |
| I'm putting to rest worrying about sibilance And honestly I’m not comfortable loading a cartridge as high as 100k ohms. If that was recomended then I think you would see that value on most phono preamps. I think at that value it might just be masking some of the sibilance and effecting the s... | |
| I'm putting to rest worrying about sibilance Agreed, but the problem is I like the tables. The mmf7 I bought years and years ago and its mint. It was seemingly well recepted by all reviewers and was said to compete with some tables twice the price or coming very close. The eroica h is no slo... | |
| Black Ash..... Walnut or rosewood for me. Although harbeth has a beautiful olive wood finish on some of their anniversary speakers... | |
| Forever turntable under $2000 I second the pro -ject classic. I bought the sb superpack model with the sumiko blue point no 2. It also came with speed control as well as a great record clamp and leather mat. To my ears and eyes it’s a fantastic table.im waiting to see when the... |
