If the marantz you have is a 2250, It is an excellent receiver and is worth more than 100 bucks, check Ebay, you'll see it once in a while... I'm not sure about the speakers but if you go to thrift shops keep an eye out for the vintage speakers (Large and Small Advents, Acoustic Research, KLH, etc.) I got a pair of Large Advents and a Pair of AR 2ax's. Needed to be refoamed but thats easy and pretty cheap.My Marantz tt, Large Advents and Sony cd recorder/player are hooked to a Pioneer SX-980 receiver(1978) and my AR 2ax's go with a Sansui G-7700 and 1986 Technics CD player.
At school I have a Pioneer SX-880 Smaller Advents and Salvation Army special Technics CD player.
I don't find vintage gear. Vintage gear finds me.
I've used Ebay in the past but not any more because I've found that the stuff I need always seems to come my way at a tenth of the price.
Follow Ups:
Last night I changed the wires that connect the cartridge to the headshell, but didn't bother remembering the which colour goes with what concerning the headshell and now I get sound out of only one channel. When I throw it on mono, I get sound out of both. When I switched the left/right turntable-to-phono cables, the sound jumped to the other speaker.I'm hoping this remedied by aligning the proper colour with the proper pin on the headshell; can you tell me what goes where?
If that doesn't fix it, is the cartridge bad or do I have bigger problems?
Thats no good.
I would only fool around with the headshell wires if i broke one. I never believed in the magic of wires and interconnects... especially on average equipment...Anyway, if you are looking at the headshell straight on, with the cartridge staring at you,the bottom two wires are green on the right and blue on the left. On the top its red on the right and white on the left.
As for what colors go where on the cartridge itself, differnt carts vary but many are color coded or labelled.
Thank you so much for your help once again. I know for a fact that cart isn't the problem b/c after I had posted this question, I tried it on my junker TT and it worked fine, so *hopefully* its just a matter of crossed wired and not something bigger.Do you have IM; I'd like to talk to you about some other music related things.
