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... 
Anyone Use A CD Recorder For Main Play Back?
Sid, it really does sound good and I am happy with the playback section. Until the Marantz laser went out I had never really used this one for playback. Pleasantly surprised to say the least. Thinking of keeping it for more than just recording dut... 
Anyone Use A CD Recorder For Main Play Back?
TP, just looking for opinions. $$ is tight right now as I head in to 3 months of no salary. I really am tempted to sell the SA-14 with the stipulation of what repairs are needed and a adjusted price. Have also thought about buying another player. ...

RW, thanks!!!! I'll see if that's exactly what I need. 
Marantz Sa 14 SACD Trouble, Advice-Opinions Needed
My repair man contacted Marantz and they told him they didn't have them. The unit was new in 01. I bought here on Audiogon about 2 years or so ago. 
Who makes a good CD recorder?
I have a Marantz Professional model that frankly as a stand alone player is pretty darn impressive. As for recorder it makes great copies. I'm very impressed at the quality of the playback section. 
Question Regarding Tuner And Satellite Radio
Tp. It would be background music as all my critical listening (when I can) is cd. Thanks. 
Question Regarding Tuner And Satellite Radio
Thanks for the responses. Looks like a regular tuner will not accept the Sirius signal? Or will running that one IC to my pre amp do the trick albeit with lousy sound? 
How does one get off the merry-go-round?
I have not dropped off per say but circumstances have changed things for me. First let me say that I had it great. My work schedule allowed me an hours time most mornings for dedicated listening. I would go to the gym for my morning workout and th... 
Life As I knew in My Audio World Has Ended, Help
Thanks to all the "sensible" responses. To the rest of you, maybe this was isn't the most mainstream question but,1. I'm not asking for advice how to schedule my day even though it might come across that way.2. IPOD or the car is not a subsitute f... 
Amp Stands, Butcher Blocks Etc.
Thanks for the responses, I'll check out those suggestions. 
Marantz Model 6100, Worth Refurbishing?
Thanks for the responses. Jaybo, so you're saying it's not that good a table? Don't worry I won't be insulted. I bought it used years ago after I had given up my then top of the line Yamaha table. 
Fellow Classic Hard Rock Lovers, I Need Advice
Rich, maybe I'll make a 3-4 volume cd set of my various favorite bands in alternating fashion. Instead of trying to match just two up head to head. Seems most reponses here and on the other forum I tried have leaned that way. Zar
