AXPONA 2011 Atlanta reports/thoughts?

My Marantz TT-15 and Parasound JC3 don't get along
I had a similar problem years ago with a McIntosh C39, Rega P25 with Benz Glider and a number of phono stages, Creek, Phenonomen, and another I can't remember. I tried a Naim Stageline and dead quiet. I can't tell you what the incompatability was ...
