    Got me a new turntable today

    I am a fluid damper fan too. I have one for a vintage SME arm, love it and they work. The OP likes his table as it is right now and that is fine. I also like the MP-200, it is a sweet cartridge. Someday down the road @63pontiacgp might get upgrade-itis, and then the fluid damper could...

    So you're rebuilding a Marantz 2245/2270? Check it out!

    Some of Pat’s pictures in this thread are of a 2270 he recently restored for me. To those of you playing 30-40 year old gear, please note the problems he found. Blown parts, wrong parts, and many out of spec parts. Not to mention sloppy work done by a prior owner. Yet, when I played this unit...
