New member Username: Dk0rPost Number: 1 Registered: Mar-05 | Just picked up my 1st recorder player; ever. Based my purchase upon looks/budget, & picked up a Marantz 6300 for $150. Im going to need a preamp, new cartridge, allignment tools & record cleaning products of which IU need your guys advice on. 1. Is the Marantz 6300, Moving Magnet or Moving Coil? 2. What are my 'best' options for cartridges under $100? (primary listening is jazz w/ a marantz SR7000 receiver w/ two Yamaha NS-670's) 3. What types of alignment tools should I use if any? I was thinking of picking up the phono cartridge alignment tool from http://turntablebasics.com/align.html What about a Stylus force gauge?(turntablebasics.com is out of stock) 4. What are my 'best' options for preamps under $200 (again, I have a marantz sr7000 preamp w/ two Yamaha NS-670's) 5. Whats are 'best' record cleaning tools under $50 w/ a decent amount of usage? Im a total noob, & i dont know jack about phono, so all opinions are welcome. Thanks in advance Dk0r on AOL Instant messenger |
