Thes are all Marantz vintage feet...

None of those are the feet I need. I've seen that guys stuff on ebay, but those are all receiver feet. I need tall feet because there is a plastic piece that protrudes a couple inches below the base of the turntable, so the feet have to extend beyond that. The image below shows the original, adjustable feet.

Is your table totally missing the feet?

I hate to say, but $120 for all 4 feet isn't too bad, considering the height of the foot and the fact that they also have absorption qualities.

There are many aftermarket solutions, but as you probably have seen on MusicDirect and sites like that, the newer technology isolation footers that have that kind of height are not cheap. The ones I have seen that may work are all $100 per foot or more.

I will say though, don't cheat on the isolation feet--they will make a difference. I would bite the bullet and get the original replacement footers...

Thanks Marco. Those look pretty solid. I'll definitely consider them.

I may just find a parts 6300 and take the feet off then sell the table. I'm such a cheapo .

!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!.........MY GIFT TO THE MUSIC BOARD.........!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!







After going through the lot of 300+ LPs and taking the ones I wanted, I am left with about 100 LPs that I will get rid of.

Many of these, about 60 of the 100, I already own on reissues or just am not a big fan of (Dylan, Springsteen).

This stash (Phish reference here) that I am giving away has about 10 Stones, 5 Beatles, 5 McCartney, 5 Dylan, some Hendrix, Derek and the Dominos, 4 Led Zep, some reggae, some classic Jazz, 6 Dr. John, some Moody Blues, Zebra, Lou Reed, Keith Jarrett, Pink Floyd, Billy Joel, Stevie Wonder, Neil Young, The Who, King Crimson, Def Leppard, Elton John, a bunch of classic rock, and about 20 things I never heard of before.

I will meet a fellow MBer anywhere in the Greater New Orleans area and pass the box off to them--I only ask that you play them and enjoy them.

I would like to be rid of them today or tomorrow.





ANY TAKERS??

...Oh, and since this is primarily a college sports forum, you have to say "Roll Tide" as I pass them off to you!!

My guess is it would run about $300 to buy all these used in a record store. They are in great shape and just need a cleaning.

Damn, I will get one of my NOLA friends to meet you if the other poster hasn't already set up a rendezvous.

Sit tight...


...I am purging my 3000 CD collection soon. I have hi-Rez download copies and vinyl reissues of many of them, so I will probably unload a bunch of them in the same fashion.

I am also running out of room.


Regarding my music collection:

If I listen to 1 CD every day, it will take over 8 years to get through them all just once.
If I listen to 1 LP every day, it will take me 13 years to get through them all just once.

There comes a time when one realizes that "Even though this is a good or OK album, I really may never play it again"...so why not let it have a second life and let someone else enjoy it!
