Hi Everyone. Been on the internet since it started but never had a reason to join a forum before so this is my first.
I've always loved vinyl and old school HIFI. I grew up with it at my parent's house but never really appreciated it until this last year or so when I started slowly getting my own gear. Now, it's become an obsession. An illness even.
Here's what I've got:
-Marantz 2265B
works perfect. just needs lamps got it AS A TIP from a customer on a service call!!
-Paradigm 7s
$100. Perfect working order. Currently refinishing (sand/prime/paint) the cabs.
-JVC QL-A2
$40. Needed a little de-oxit here and there and modded the internal ground (wasn't working properly) to external on the amp. It came with a Stanton 500 mkii cartridge and the stylus is a E MKii.
I'll post some pics later after I've finished the cabs (waiting for this winter to finally effing end so I can paint) and get the lamps installed in the amp.
I think the system sounds amazing on any source (vinyl, FM, aux). But the ONE problem I seem to be having is when I play vinyl, the speakers seem to shake even at low volumes. The sound is still great but it's almost like there's some kind of inaudible low bass frequency.
I've setup the tone arm properly. I've tried a different cartridge (shure m44-7) I've got my speakers on decent stands on a concrete floor (haven't finished my basement yet). And I never had this problem with my other TT (technics SL-Q200 with an AT91E)
I'm hoping some of you pros out there could offer a few suggestions.
