I did a DIY job and made one of these using PVC pipe and velvet: Attach it to the hose of a wet/dry vac, wet clean records and just vacuum it all up. For a platter I just picked up an old broken turntable, stripped out all the insides so that I'm left with only the shell and platter with...

Last night: Stone Temple Pilots - Core Sigur Ros - Agaetus Byrjun Ella & Louis

Agree with Al ears on this and a good option IMO would be something along the lines of Pro-ject Debut Carbon....great little turntable, pairs well with Marantz (I had one with a Marantz PM6005 on B&W CM5 speakers), and I think it's around the same price as the LP-120 (at least here it is). Rega...

Don't be embarrased about your equipment....the main thing is that your wife enjoys her music. Good call from MajorFubar, the Audio Technica MX50's are solid performers, especially at that price. Another good deal I spotted, have a look on Massdrop, they have a pair of AKG DJ181 UE cans up for...

I know, has me totally stumped. Only other possibility I could think of was mac was transmitting at 5ch which means the stereo amp won't receive the signal, but Audio Midi says 2ch, so can't be that either. That said, also tried the mac on my AVR and wasn't working on there either. Either the...

Tried that and all other possible alternatives (incl. 16bit) with no luck. Only possibility i can think of is drivers on the mac? Optical on the amp worked fine when i tried my xbox on it.

So I've purchased a mini toslink (3.5mm) to toslink (spdif) that I intended to use as a connection from my mbp (15inch mid 2012 running el capitan) to my Marantz PM 6005 integrated amp which has an optical input and built in DAC. Problem is, connecting this yields no audio through my amp. When...

I thought I had a dud, lol. Yeah, I'm not too sure I'm really into I Love you Honeybear either, but my wife wanted it, so I'll just maintain it's her album, not mind. :P It's not too bad though to be honest. I've not heard Singing Ax, will give that a listen.

I Love You Honeybear by Father John Misty is another one. Caught me out the first time, especially as I wasn't familiar with Father John Misty at the time and bought it as per my wife's request. Put it on and thought, damn...this is slow...doesn't sound right! So I asked my wife if this it's...

I think it's a pretty decent setup. Technics 1200MK2... a true classic! NAD3020 - Depends on who you ask hahaha, but not a bad amp. I found the built-in phono stage to be quite good, so it should pair nicely with your technics. As for the B&W 685 s2 speakers on your NAD amp, as long as the...

What about Clearaudio Concept? Definitely should be a contender in your list I think.

Agree with Al Ears. I too have a screw down record clamp which forms part of the players design, and I've tried both with or without the clamp and personally found no improvements to sound quality. Cartridge is probably the best way for a sure-fire improvement, but depending on your current...

Nice setup! I've found the Marantz PM6005 or 5005 pairs quite well with Dalis, and price wise, they are pretty good bang for buck. Whether it's an upgrade to your current amp I'm not sure as I'm not familiar with the TA-FE 550.
