HELP PICKING NEW TURNTABLE

bad choice.

I would rather have a VPI if I were you.... easy repair if necessary (great support from VPI), and valuable in the trade in/up market.

VPI TAVELER is a very good plug and play unit. If you can purchase from a local dealer, you can have them set it up and place a cartridge of your choice. Then all you have to do is bring it home and enjoy. You might need a phono preamp if you do not have a phono stage in your Marantz.

Check out basis, his entry model the 1400 is a killer table.

Think our suggestions are showing signs of price creep. The Traveler and the Basis are different beasts, as they should be for the increase in price over a P3 or MH 5.1.
