    Black Face Plates, pro and con

    I'm curious as to what others think of the black Marantz face plates that seem to have become prevalent in recent years. About 5 years ago, I bought a 2385 with an unsightly dent to the upper right side of the original silver face plate. Thanks to a nice refund from Uncle Sam last spring, I...

    Who Got The Oldest Cans, Man?

    I still have a pair of Pioneer SE-305s which I purchased around 1973. Called the Coconut for good reason, they are still in very good shape. My go-to cans for about 35 years. I'm now committed to Sennheiser, but still use the 305 with my desktop computer. SE-305 | DIY-Audio-Heaven (wordpress.com)

    What is the best all around Vintage Turntable?

    My main table is a Custon Thorens TD-160 Super Reproduction with a Jelco 750DB arm, Ortofon 2m Black and a really sharp looking Mahogany Plinth. Powered with a Cary VT-500 phono preamp. I've had this setup for a couple years, and for the first time in many years I'm not looking to modify or...

    Best looking Speakers you've owned ?

    I've got four Electas and the marble stands. Using them with a Marantz 2385 as the amp, Cary SLP-05 preamp; Cary VT-500 phono preamp; Thorens TD 160 Super turntable; and McIntosh MR 88 tuner. Very satisfied, no longer even looking at potential upgrades.

    Morrow Audio vs Bluejeans

    Very happy with Morrow. Started at 3 and have worked up to 5. If you can, wait before purchasing. Morrow has some really good sales. With trades, I got my latest upgrades at 50% off.

    Ramsey Lewis: Wade in the Water This one was either on my TT or right beside it during my 1960s college days. After a good clean, I played it last night for first time in 20-some years. Ramsey Lewis still swings!

    Is there any HD component tuner worth my time and money?

    I have several Marantz receivers: 2285, 19, 2385 and 4400. Love 'em all. But, none are better than my McIntosh 88 tuner. That's the one that's hooked up to my A system (use the amp in the 2385 and an upgraded Cary 05 preamp. Works just fine!), the one I listen to every day. I spent about nine...

    My wife's going to kill me!

    For me, I have the incriminating evidence delivered to nearest UPS or FedEx outlet. That way I can pick it up at a time when the Mrs. is not home. Once it's in the house, I try to hide the latest arrival with my existing gear, which is mostly in my basement man cave (game room). The theory...

    Post a Picture of your Tape Deck - Decks

    Picked up a Marantz SD-8000 (bottom left in right picture) a few years ago. Overall, I like the unit, but in last couple years it hasn't been used much as I've found myself going back to vinyl.

    What is the best sounding Marantz Receiver?

    I would not disagree with that. My quote "many would say" does not include me.
