Whats the best vintage Yamaha amp to invest in?
I agree witrh RW, the old Yamaha amps with the wood cases were very good. I had the CA-810. Yamaha was considered high end of sorts back then. There was a Yamaha power amo that had two huge meters in the front, that was a nice amp. 
Turntable volume help
Goe, I have just dived back in to vinyl and am also loving it. I had the opposite problem. My rig was way too loud with my volume at barely 9 o'clock. I had the mc button on when it should have been to mm.

Phono Pre-Amp Questions
Guys, thanks for the advice. So on the used market what would the Jolida cost? I will look when I have time. So it is hooked up to the pre-amp oand not directly to the power amp? Interesting. So it would plug in to the AUX? or likewise? Thanks aga... 
Marantz sa-1 stop playing
Photon, thanks for the advice. Yea I just can't pull the trigger on the ebay deal. Paul at Tube Research Labs has done lots of mods on Marantz Sa players and claims they are built like tanks and has never seen a laser mech go out. Sounds contradic... 
Marantz sa-1 stop playing
Photon, so am I pretty much bleeped? I can't stand the the thought of tossing something that cost me over a grand and also has about 700 bucks of top mods. I'll call the Service Wide place mentioned above and see what they say before throwing in t...

Marantz sa-1 stop playing
I'm having the same problem with my SA-14. It stopped reading discs and no replacement part (If it's the laser mech) is available. It's been under my bed for well over a year and I'm sick about it. It was easily my best sounding cd player as it wa... 
Thanks All, Turntable Problem Fixed
I had a handful left and have purchased some used vinyl over the last few days. I am enjoying it, missed that relaxed and warm sound. 
Thanks All, Turntable Problem Fixed
I'm looking at a couple right now by one of my favorite bands, Golden Earring. I'll try to find out if they are from the original analog masters. If any of you know I'm listening. Thanks again for the help. I know it seems bone headed but it truly... 
Do you ration your favorite music?
I'm sure not lately. One of if not my favorite bands is Golden Earring. About 98% of what has been coming through my speakers lately has been them. I've been loving it but have wondered if I should back off as not to tire of what is an oustanding ... 
Why is my turntable so loud?
Thanks to all that responded. Since I have not had a turntable with this pre-amp until now, I was not aware of the switch on the back. So it might be on MC instead of MM? I like that my MF pre is dual mono as is my Aragon power amp, but I admit it...
