I have been having issues with the Marantz CD player cutting out very briefly on some tracks.
I did try to clean it up including the lens however it's still happening.
So yesterday I replaced it with an even older machine (Philips 610) and not only it plays perfectly (so far) but the brightness I mentioned earlier with the Marantz amp+cd has gone.
It all sounds pretty good now even if the bass is still too timid. I guess it's down the speakers. Still very happy.
Now to build a decent tt.
I've had some luck replacing power supply capacitors in older CD players. Good news regarding the Philips. Like you say, bass could be speaker dependant. If you position them in a corner they should get a +6db boost in the bass range. That's the principal smaller speakers use to develop bass.
