Just an update... I think I fell in the rabbit hole quite rapidly on this one. I met my new drug dealer (LOL) - Mike @ Hudson Valley Hifi (www.hudsonvalleyhifi.com). He was more than helpful and was really patient with my rookie questions. After a weekend of going back and forth, I know have a fully recapped and restored Marantz 2270 and a pair of brand spanking new Klipsch Heresy III's in cherry finish - matches my 2270 wood cab quite well.
Mike let me experiment and paired up my turntable with everything from a pair of Klipsch Heritage "The Sixes" (which sound good but not so good with the vinyl) and he let me bring my turntable to listen to it with the Marantz and the big Klipsch.
At the end of the day, he showed me how my table, how ever great it looks, was not one to have if you want hifi. He loaned me a Uturn Orbit and the difference was night and day. Stairway to Heaven sounded so muffled with the old table and it sounded so much better with the uTurn.
He also hooked me up with an Audioquest Beetle DAC that I hooked up in my 2270's AUX input.
My son ended grabbing the 901's and I might end up giving him the Pioneer 510 as well. I am now saving up for the Marantz TT-15 to pair up with its ancestor, the 2270. After that, I should be done.
Any advice or tips, recommendations/feedback, highly sought after.
