• 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.
