cool record clamp, what is the phono pick up? Have the orginal 33lp do u think the 45 version is worth the 50$ they are asking?? Nice cool system good old school system. High value price preformace. consider more laid back speakers, pro-ac 1s or dynaudio, smooth relaxed sound vs detailed forward B&W sound.
Thanks for the comment : ) My phono pickup is a Sumiko Pearl. Great sounding budget cartridge. I think the 45 version of Rumours is definitely worth $50. I've listened to the 33 version and personally feel the 45 version has way more detail. I guess there are a lot of factors to consider like what kind of system your listening through and whether or not you're a critical listener. Thanks for the recommendation on speakers. Right now, I'm loving these B&W"s. Take it easy!
@mingusthecat1976 cant lose with either speaker, just something to audition if ur looking for something different than the B&W
thanks will pick up the 45 copy as i do listen carefully via my AR-ES-1 turntable with audioquest arm & currenlty a audio tec AMl 440 pick-up going to a set of revel F-50A which are larger but have a similar forward detailed sound as ur B&W
I love those old Marantz and Onkyo receivers. It's amazing how even cds can sound better when run through them instead of todays receivers. And now there's a new interest in these old receivers which will make their prices even go up so if you are into old receivers and thorens now is the time to get one!
hello nice setup! whats the name of that weight device?

Bikingshaun, get some brass cones and place them under the Marantz.

I have this receiver and have been thinking about getting it up and running. It's missing a foot - any idea where I could find one?
