| I bought a Marantz at Goodwill and now I have a few questions Keep the Sonus speakers for now. Bi-wiring IMO does nothing! If you can, run your sub using long rca ICs from the "sub out" jacks on the Marantz. | |
| Spend my $1000 on a turntable +1 bpoletti & grinnell! A VPI HW19 painted gloss red with a good arm (Jelco) and cartridge (Grado) would be "da bomb"! Maybe I should paint my HW19 red too! | |
| I bought a Marantz at Goodwill and now I have a few questions That SR-18 was TOTL in 20002 and cost around $2K! You got a bargain for sure! Use and enjoy it as a 2-channel amp! | |
| I bought a Marantz at Goodwill and now I have a few questions Yes, the inexpensive Project is an excellent sounding phono stage. The only thing lacking is an extra 0 in its price (for snob appeal)! | |
| I bought a Marantz at Goodwill and now I have a few questions Get a Project Phono Box and sell/give away the Onkyo! | |
| Onkyo & Pioneer “UDP-LX500”, a universal disc player, Do you mean "made in the same Chinese factory"? Why care! They all sound the same! Let the rock throwing begin! | |
| Classical Recordings from the Golden Age I like to listen to mono LPs and CDs on my stereo system. Image is centered between the two speakers. | |
| Classical Recordings from the Golden Age You can play stereo CDs using the mono switch on your preamp (if it has one). If not, then a y-connector (2 males to either 1 m/f) from your preamp's two left-right outputs will work. | |
| I bought a Marantz at Goodwill and now I have a few questions Use the "tape out" on your Onkyo into an aux input on the Marantz for phono use. | |
| I bought a Marantz at Goodwill and now I have a few questions No phono stage and an actual 110 wpc. | |
| Do electrolytic caps need burn in? You should have just used the same value caps as the originals. Second-guessing the circuit designers is not a good idea! | |
| LP Cleaning After cleaning an application of LAST record preservative might be beneficial. And using STYLAST on your cartridge can increase diamond life and reduce groove wear. | |
| LP Cleaning One of the new ultrasonic machines would be worth getting, especially if you could share the cost with a friend. | |
| LP Cleaning I have cleaned my LPs by hand using a wet process and air drying. I do the whole record, including label. Never had any problems! | |
| Can someone point me in the right direction? LP player / Preamp / Dragonfly Red... If your Sony has a phono stage, keep and use it. If not, add a Bellari tube phonostage ($350). No real need to discard the Sony! |
