| All Maplenoll owners Arabian--are you seeing the platter wobble a little? Usually its not the brass pin (female end) but rather the teflon/delrin end(male end) is worn. I have 3 of the Maplenoll's, the white ariadne reference with the light (ie 40Lb) platter, the grey... | |
| Marantz reliability? the only problem with marantz i ever had was when my projector fell from the ceiling and crashed on the floor. Despite the machine not repairable, the machine still worked. VP12s2 was built like a tank. I have owned sr9600 10 years and still sound... | |

| How and when to check stylus condition. if you know anyone with a microscope, you can easily check the stylus. I recently checked mine after i saw this article and found that my stylus was ok, but had some strands of what appeared to be fiber. I used the magic erasure and carefully clea... | |
