Thanks for your suggestion treesey. I'm watching a few on ebay.

Yep, the output is set correctly.

I bought an Analogis Black Diamond nude eliptical stylus from Mr Stylus (about £40 inc postage from Switzerland) and noticed an immediate improvement. The bass is slightly cleaner and the soundstage is far more engaging. I really didnt expect much of an improvement.

Hi Zakhele, My speaker cable is QED XT25 Bi-Wire. I changed from some generic 14 gauge copper pair with jumers a couple of years ago in an attempt to improve things. I didnt notice any difference.............................

I think I'll try an OM20 stylus before I do anything else. I like the look of the Dalis, in fact I've had my eye on those for a while. Thanks guys, I'll come back here to report in a couple of weeks.

The turntable has highlighted the lighweight bass. I've set the tracking weight and made sure the plinth is level. I've not fiddled with the anti-skate yet. I do find that when I turn up the volume, the bass is present, not the deep thump in the chest that I've heard on some systems. But the...

Ah, OK yes I'm using A+B speaker outputs. I'll make up some jump leads and connect to the A terminals only and see what happens.

Thanks, I'll probably get a ooh, that's a lot of info. So, no staircase. Beam and block floor. The room isnt quite sqaure and has plenty of large soft furnishings. I'd have thought standing waves would be unlikely. I've also experimented with speaker position to the rear wall and...

Thanks for your suggestion. I'd not come accross Dynaudio before. If I do buy new speakers, I'd prefer to go for some floorstanders.

The turntable is a recent purchase which has highlighted the bass and treble failings. I've owned the speakers for many years when I had a Denon PMA250 amp which seemed a little "bright" at the time, hence a move to Marantz. I bought the Marantz a few years ago in order to stream digital...

That's an interesting option. I'll give it a go.

Thanks for your reply. These turntables are supposed to be "plug and Play", but I did check the tracking weight and it was 2.25 gr. Recommended is 1.75 gr which I set it to. I havent checked the anti-skate though. I'll do that and see if that changes anything.
