Not at all eventhough the test points are not the best ones :) . Because of that, I ve soldered a 1 Ohm resistor and adjusted the voltage. You also can use another ground point as the mentioned fuse..

Awesome find moodyrn! Have you hooked it up to any loudspeakers yet?

I won't be able to until I get back home this weekend. But for now I'm only able to use it with my iPhone as a source into my w3000anv. But surprisingly, it sounds pretty good with the iPhone. I don't know if that's a good thing or a bad thing since lesser quality amps are pretty forgiving with lesser quality sources. But it's much more enjoyable than I thought it would be considering the source(pun intended).

Lol, the only pic I can provide is one taken from my crappy iphone. I can upload better pics once I get home this weekend and get it cleaned up.

The DP-60L is a very fine turntable. I'm using a Denon DL-S1 on my DP-59L, but it's low output moving coil. I also used a Benz Micro ACE on the 59L for a long time, which was terrific, and you can get it in a high output model that would work with your Marantz.

I'm using a Denon D-103 on my DL-61 and love it so far.  It's still breaking in.
Running into a modified Jolida tube phono stage, then into a Pioneer SX-1250
into some rare JBL L200 T3's.
Hibuck....

Have a very hard to turn tuning knob on a Yamaha CR-220 receiver. I have it open and applied lube to all the plastic pulleys as well as the rotation points on the wheel of the tuner. Seems that at least part of the problem is the external knob itself being very hard to turn.

My first guess is that the body of the knob is pressed in so far that it's scraping on the receiver's faceplate.
 
Is there a lockscrew on the side of the knob that you can loosen? (Some equipment makers use these, some don't, ymmv; if you don't find it, it's not there.)

Thanks for the reply Ardegee. No, the knob isn't rubbing on the faceplate and I don't see any lock screw. Maybe I just need to really pull on that knob to get if off.

Thanks Hibuck for the cartridge info on your Denon TT.  I don't have a separate phono stage, so I am assuming that a low output MC wouldn't be a good fit with my Marantz.  I'm still pretty new to the vinyl game, so if that is faulty thinking on my part, let me know.  Thanks.

Can you pull other knobs off? 99.9% of all receiver like this the knobs pull straight off. You can also take a t-shirt and slip the material in behind the knob and that will give you more grip-pull straight out gripping shirt and knob. Once off check that the knob shaft is not bent, then apply small drops of lube where the shaft rotates inside the outer sleeve. The grease becomes gummy overtime and sometimes acts like glue.

It is working :) :) and this is wonderful
 

 
 
Can someone help me to get the owners manual of the Marantz 2325??
 
Have fun
Philipp
