    Permission to paint Dual 1219 bread-box?

    if someone can do this to a Marantz you should be able to do what you want to a Dual, but you will have to live with it

    Best budget cartridges of all time post yours

    of the carts i own i would say my Denon DL301mk2, it is a great sounding cart, i have a few MC's that cost 3-4 times as much and it gets equal play with all of them.

    What vintage speakers are you using with your Marantz receiver?

    My favorites with my 2245 are my Tannoys both the Cheviots and Berkeleys. I also pair with Fortes or Ohm Walsh 2XO's

    Marantz 2245 pre-purchase advise...

    Cosmetics has always been #1 for me as i always have them recapped if it has not been done already. Cases can always be refinished or there are new ones available. If the faceplate, knobs or glass have deep scratches, dents or is bent that is a no go for me, the rest can be restored...

    Having trouble hearing any difference with my new Phono preamp

    I have found Marantz phono stages to be very good and you would need to spend a pretty good chunk of cash if buying retail to get a noticable improvement in solid state. You could try a cheaper tube phono pre that would give you a bit different sound that you may like. I mostly use tube pre's on...

    Another thread about custom wood cases from Asaalah

    Joe called me a while before he died and said he had some more "fancy wood" as he called it and wanted to know if i needed another case. We talked about him making one for my Model 19 but he didnt have the design and said if i sent him the original one i have he could copy it. I kinda put that...
