Hi Neal. Without knowing the model number, it’s hard for me to say exactly what you’re looking at. But yes, I would assume “analog inputs” are line inputs unless otherwise labeled. Your Marantz turntable with […]

Marc Henshall replied to the topic What's your current record cleaning routine/approach? in the forum Record Care Chat 4 months, 4 weeks ago
Hey @kingsleyfox – Sounds like it’s working well for you. Yes, there is some debate over alcohol, but less so when you’re using such a small amount. Shellac records are another issue, of course. Never use any alcohol on those if you have any.
Interesting that you’re finding the Knosti better than the Okki Nokki. There are some close connections with Discwasher in terms of the people who…Read More

Hi Paul. Thanks for reading/watching. Glad it helps. Sorry to hear that. I’m wondering if this is to do with the stylus/cartridge or even how it’s setup rather than the signal itself? Hard for me to tell, of […]

Marc Henshall replied to the topic SSL 2+ inputs for a phono preamp (Cable?) in the forum Gear Chat 6 months, 2 weeks ago
Hey Kenny. This is correct. If I led you a stray in the tutorial on this I apologise. Sadly the SSL 2+ doesn’t have a switchable input, so XLR is fixed at mic-level and the quarter-inch jack input at line-level. You could buy an adaptor from XLR to jack, but it would be better to just have the right cable.

Marc Henshall replied to the topic What is your fav phono preamp? in the forum Gear Chat 6 months, 2 weeks ago
@KRAZYKAT – I’ve reviewed the Mani 2. It has more control over loading than the original, though I think the circuit is more surface-mount technology than the Mani 1, which means it’s less repairable if it goes wrong. If you’re happy with the Mani 1, I’m not sure I can say it’s that much of an upgrade. I’d hold off and save for something that might be more of a leap for you.
BTW: That…Read More

@gerhard – great! Sounds like you had a good day. I had family commitments in the end. Probably for the best as I’ll use the money I would’ve spent on some nice pre-loved records instead 🙂
