Hooked up my Marantz PM 6006 again...the 2245 had an issue with the phono pre-amp, and I really didn't like going through the Pluto pre-amp while losing the various other inputs I use on the 6006, too. (having a remote control is also really nice)
I plan on working on an old Pioneer 535 I have, and learning on that...then attempt to fix the 2245 sometime down the line.

Record cleaning is a wonderful thing. Found this in a used section in rough shape. Couple minutes of cleaning and it's playing VG/VG+. Not bad for a record from 1958!
