OK I decided to go a different way. I figured this was my last table, so lets buy something really cool! I agreed to buy this.

Sometimes things just don't work out like they are supposed to. I had found a Dynavector head shell for this arm, and ordered it. Then on May 15th it gets to a facility 30 miles from my house and never moves. Two weeks later I go to the Post Office and leave my tracking number and phone number and g...

Well I can put the story of the Amazon Referenz to bed now. Its been returned and Paypal has returned funds to me.

Now there is a Sony TTS8000 in Resinamic plinth that is soooo tempting. The problem is its being sold by a shop in HK. Shipping is brutal.

I am now in the opening stages of Plan B. The Amazon makes it back to the shipping address on Monday, but its a retail delivery site so he has to sign for it, and I could see him dragging his feet to do so. Once the package is signed for Paypal is supposed to be returning funds to my account. For pl...

Servicing the Logic makes the most sense! I bet it will be a fine table again with a bit of attention and a nice cartridge bolted up to it.

All fits together. Now to start on making it look and sound good

Very cool! I have mad respect for you guys who can DIY. I love watching your projects. I personally have no talent.

That would be a solid choice if its working properly. Might even come with a very respectable cartridge that you could do a new stylus for and be at a great place for a reasonable price.

I don't believe Marantz manufactured turntables at that time period. They re-branded CEC turntables, so that one is probably sourced from them also.

So last night I redid the Dynavector arm installation with some Gorilla Glue double sided mounting tape in place of the blue tak. I redid the cartridge alignment, and this cart is just a bastard to do. I have to use my phone camera with a 10X magnification to see the stylus location in relation to t...

In the past I have owned a Denon DP75, a Technics SP 10 MK II, and a Brinkmann Bardo. All of them are nice tables, and in most ways I preferred the DP75, and the Denon tables are more cost effective than any of the others. So I did think about buying a DP80 for this project and having a plinth built...
