  • This TT Exceded My Expectation... By A LOT.
Received this turntable today. I took my time assembling it (which was VERY easy) so that I wouldn't make any dumb mistakes. It took me about 90 minutes, but could have been done in about 30 easily. MY REASON FOR THIS PURCHASE: I listen to music daily. I am primarily a Classic Rock fan with a huge collection of vinyls, but also enjoy classical, meditation, new age, and more. Many of my vinyls I bought in the 70's and 80's and they have been taken extremely good care of. I have 2 other turntables; a Elac Miracord that I bought in Germany, and a Pro-Ject Carbon II that is basically my workhorse. Both TTs produce good sound, but I wanted something really exceptional. I did a lot of research and kept coming back to this TT. It is within my budget so I decided to purchase one. PACKAGING: Upon arrival one corner of the box it came in was damaged and torn. I took a photo of the box just in case and then opened it. The Marantz box inside was pristine and not damaged at all. The packaging of the parts inside the Marantz box was the best I have seen in an electronics product. After taking inventory everything was accounted for. ASSEMBLY: Once again, it was quite easy to assemble. There were a few lessons learned and I'll pass those on: 1) You won't need the turntable mat. 2) There are 2 grounding cables (one under the table body, and one on the RCA plug cable. These grounding cables and the RCA plugs are too short (aren't they always?} so you will have to extend them all if you plug into a receiver or amp. Make sure you attach BOTH grounding cables to the signal ground on your amp or Receiver or you WILL get hum when you touch parts of the TT. 3) Attaching the cartridge is easy, just remember to position it all the way forward on the head shell (towards the stylus). 4) Attaching the 4 wires to the cartridge can be frustrating, just use tweezers and take your time. 5) A stylus force gauge will be helpfull (I used a Shure SFG-2. Inexpensive and accurate). 6) Motor Pully - I allowed a 4.5mm gap rather than 3mm (the motor just sits so low). 7) Motor - The motor sits very low, making the drive belt very low on the platter. I placed a 2" circular felt pad under the motor (the kind you put under legs of a chair so you don't scratch wood floors. You can get them just about anywhere. Don't peel the paper off of the pad since you don't need the glue side exposed.). this will now allow the drive belt to be nearly centered around the platter. 8) Drive Belt - Not difficult at all, just take your time. CONNECTING TO RECEIVER: If you have a relatively new receiver (I have a Denon INCommand Series) it may have "Phono" inputs. Some newer receivers that have "Phono" inputs are set up for MM (Moving Magmet) cartriges and do not require a pre-amp. the cartridge on this unit is a MM cartridge. If you use a MC (Moving Coil) cartridge you will also need a pre-amp (but this turntable cartridge is MM). BTW: A comment I read here suggested using a power strip to turn the TT on and off. An excellent suggestion and I am using it. TURNTABLE COVER: It does not come with one. I priced some on-line and they run anywhere between $250 - $300. That is a bit much, so I will just make my own. A good opportunity to turn your creativity loose. AFTER ASSEMBLY: The first 2 LPs I played on the TT were brand new copies of David Gilmour's "On An Island" and "Rattle That Lock". The TT operated flawlessly, and I simply could not believe the clean, clear sound that came from my speakers. I could not detect ANY extraneous noise, just pure music. Neither my Elac nor my Pro-Ject can produce this quality of sound. I had the feeling that I had been listening to great music all these years and have now moved on to something totally better. If a new TT is in your budget then I highly recommend this one. UPDATE (2/21/2016): As I mentioned above I felt the cost of a 3rd party dust cover was excessive, so I would make my own. I did just that. The one I built looks just like the ones I saw pictures of online (except that I added some nice looking drawer pulls as lifting handles. Cost from 3rd party suppliers = $300.00 (plus tax & shipping usually) Cost of materials to build one = $37.09 (a 28" x 30" sheet of Duraplex acrylic sheeting, a tube of adhesive, and 2 drawer pulls) ... show more

  • Amazing Sound and Value
First off, if you see a "refurbished" unit at $1099, grab it!! I did, and it is pristine- perhaps not even taken out of box before. It is one of the best values you will find at $1499, and a steal as a like new refurbish at $1099. There were some disappointments but overall it is a five star performer for the price. My only complaints have to do with the belt drive package. Despite the TT being designed to be a superb value and great overall performance, the drive could definitely be improved, and for very little additional cost. First, the belt is just plain inferior. It is cheap silicone rubber, poorly molded, and it jumps around as the platter rotates. As another reviewer noted, it actually jumps off the platter if the pulley is positioned as instructed. (That was solved by moving the pulley up another eighth inch or so on the motor shaft). The plastic motor pulley is also cheap and slips when the motor is turned on. The motor switch should have been placed on the top side of the motor casing rather than the side. One has to reach under the edge of the chassis to push it, which causes the motor to move slightly. If you aren't careful, the motor will touch the chassis which can transmit vibration. Larger diameter feet under the motor would also help prevent movement. Okay, on to the positives of which there are many. The supplied Audio Virtuoso Wood MM cartridge is fabulous. More about the sound later. The TT set up instructions are clear and easy. One thing I especially liked is that there is no need for special tools to set vertical tracking angle, azimuth, tracking force, or anti-skate force. All those are designed around the specific cartridge supplied. The tone arm vertical position is set using the counterweight as a temporary spacer (plus a felt pad spacer if the included platter felt pad is to be used). The azimuth is set by mounting the cartridge all the way forward in the shell and aligning the tone arm tube parallel to the edge of the chassis. I found that this is easily done by sighting over the top of the tube to the chassis edge, moving the tone arm pivot assembly until the tube and edge match up, then tightening a set screw. The anti-skate magnet distance is not critical, and accomplished by screwing it in half way and tightening a nut. Now, about the sound. I purchased this turn table to replace one I moved from my old system to my new system. It is a Pro-Ject RPM 9.1 turn table and arm with Koetsu Black MC cartridge. The original cost of these items were $2500 and $1600. I'll have to say that after limited listening with the Marantz, I may decide to use the Marantz as my first choice. The resolution, soundstage, and dynamics of the Marantz with Clear Audio cartridge are just awesome and I've been going through my LP collection. Vocals are crystal clear (Judy Collins on "Send in the Clowns"), sound stage is broad and deep, with tight bass (Santana "Abraxis" LP), everything is just what a life-like reference class vinyl sound is supposed to be. I am using the Marantz with with either Pro-Ject Tube Box SE phono preamp or Manley Chinook phono preamp, Audio Research Ref 5 line preamp, Odyssey Khartago power amps, and DIY Linkwitz LX-521 bipolar speakers. You might be disappointed in this and that about the design of this turntable/arm/cartridge package, as I nitpicked about, but I promise you won't be in the least disappointed in the sound and the value. ... show more

  • Great turntable BUT defective
This is a great looking turntable which I wanted to add to my Marantz Model 30 components. I bought this from Gramophone Amazon store and when I opened it, I was disappointed to see the motor which showed signs of oil leaks. Unfortunately, I had to return the defective unit.
