how to upgade turn table
« on: Nov 27, 2014 at 01:33 PM »
Hi PDVD,

Having problem with MArantz turn table recntly, sound is garbled when i turn up the volume. Cleaned the needle already, ganun pa rin.  What seem to be the problem? ( this is paired with Marantz integrated amp)

Would like to ask suggestion also on how to improve my 2nd turn table unit Rega RP1.
(paired with Cayin Tube amp)  How do i upgrade it? Suggestions and supplier please .

 Thanks and God Bless PDVD

Have tried the marantz TT to other amp if same problem?

If your rega TT is working fine, try other cart of higher model.

Try unplugging the TT jacks and turn up the amp volume. If it makes excessive noise sira amp or its phono stage.

The rp1 - try the performance pack...

If bitin, have Mr. Rivo replace the rca wires and install na din rca "jacks", that way you can replace cords and have a grounding wire na din.

you can of course, replace the cart with a sound that caters to your liking.

Ortofon (red/blue/black), nagaoka, rega carts are readily available naman (i think) hehe

Happy upgrading O0
