System edited: I just blew what I had saved on the TT, but on a purely theoretical level, what would be a fitting upgrade for my amp? Probably would have to be in the $500 range, used. I was interested in the review I recently read of the Marantz PM7200 in What Hi-Fi, me having some sort of underserved loyalty towards Marantz. What about the option of getting a burly power amp and using my 2270 as a preamp? Crazy? Genius? Crazily genius?

System edited: Just added a TT. Next upgrade?

Oh, sorry, I got the impression that the 2270 was an amp only.

Yeah, the phonostage and preamp are already built into the 2270.

Nicko:
Isn't the Marantz 2270 a vintage 2 channel receiver? If so, the linestage preamp & TT input is there already.
Thanks,
Rich

Do you plan on getting some sort of linestage preamp when or before you get a TT?

ohlala April 21, 2003 05:31

Yeah, I hooked it up to the auxiliary output. It works just fine. Clear, detailed sound.

Are you running your CD Player straight into your Marantz Amplifier? How is that working for you?
