Hi

Joined primarily as I would like to better understand how best to go about getting my much loved Marantz CD94 overhauled – it needs more than new belts.:wah:

My equipment is old and may be split into 2 systems:

S1
Early 90’s Linx Mono Block Amps (X6)
Linx Pre-Amp
Linx Tuner
Marantz CD94II Two-Box Player & Converter
Michell Gyrodec
Musical Fidelity X-LPS Phono
Linn Kaber Speakers

S2
Alan & Heath Zone62 Mixer
Rega Turntables X2
Project Phono Boxes (X2)
Alesis Master Link (Master Disc Recorder)
Sony PCM-RG500 Dat
Sampson Servo Amps (X2)
Marantz Tuner
Marantz Cassette Deck
Celestion Ditton 25 Speakers
Technics Reel-To-Reel Tape Machine
Apogee Duet

My musical tastes are diverse (sorry if that sounds pompous) albeit now that I’m in my twilight years I find myself leaning more, and more towards jazz. That said the following may put a little more meat on the bones but sans any classical as that’s another story!

Patto
60’s/70’s Library Music – UK & Italian
60’s/70’s BBC In-Concerts & Sessions – Too Many To List
Stretch
Rory Gallagher
Back Door
Nucleus
Soft Machine
Cado Bell
Moon
Home
Jackson Browne (Makes Dylan look positively pedestrian IMHO!)
Roy Harper
June Tabor
Clapton (But only when he has a Gibson plugged into valves and switched to 11.)

Best I stop there as the list goes on and we aren’t anywhere near done with the 70’s.

Thank you for having me

K

Hi Richard and welcome to the forum. I replaced the belts on my CD94 last year it was a fiddly job requiring much patience. What exactly is wrong with yours?

Welcome Richard, if you are near leith Hill, very nice neck of the woods.
If you need outside help, it may be worth contacting Henry Durant (Toprepairman) who is based in nearby Fetcham. He is very knowledgeable repairer of vintage kit.

Hello Richard. Welcome to AOS.

Interesting selection of equipment you have there, interesting choices in music too.

I've not seen anybody mention Ditton 25 speakers for a long time, despite their having possibly the finest treble quality of any Celestion speaker.

Join in the fun and chat with the members, they're all friendly.


Enjoy the forum,
Geoff.
