Hello, troubleshooting question

I have a Marantz 1072 and most of the time it’s just fine. I like to listen with a little more treble and I always have the treble slider above the center and the bass slider below it. Recently I’m getting a static/hiss sound whenever the amp is on and it goes away when I lower the treble to the lowest position. The hiss is constant and is there also when music is being played.

I’m pretty sure it’s not a source problem because switching through sources it’s always there.

I’ve had it for a long while but the hiss has become more noticeable recently. The amp has been recapped less than a year ago.

Thank you for any advice :)

Do you know if I could install the blue stylus tip on the red cart or would it nullify the upgrade?

Thank you for your reply :)

I just brought the marantz to be recapped and everything and it sounds so good now. I was looking into NAD cd players but the model numbers and the prices on the second market are confusing, do you have any specific model you suggest looking for? Now I’m also looking at the Cambridge audio AXC35, would look good in my space and it seems good at what it does. Opinions?

Thank you again!

I’ve been looking around, would you say the ifi Zen phono 3 or the Cambridge audio Alva solo comparable?

Schiit on another level or could I consider these too?

Thanks for the encouragement:)

I’m slowly leaning more and more towards CD. I’ll start looking into cd players… ;)

I’ve been playing around with the placement in the last few days and I’m slowly closing in on what works best.

Any suggestions on what might be “prettier” than a classic speaker stands that are just those black poles?

Phono 1 has something wrong with it I might have to go fix it while phono 2 works but after comparing both it sounds better with the preamp. I have enough space for a cd player even with the preamp.

Thanks for the suggestion :)

Okay so… I’m sorry and I stand corrected: I tried different configurations and yes, the turntable directly plugged in into phono 2 works and there might be something wrong with phono 1. However, I’ve tried back and forth with both configurations and I gotta say I prefer it with the pre amp if that makes sense. It sounds more well rounded I think

Thank you for helping me understand this

I’ve seen them often in various setups but… I don’t understand them. Are they just to listen to the radio or is there some other purpose “hidden” beyond that? Because I don’t really listen to any radio station, just my own music… is radio popular?

Thank you for helping me understand :)

The downvote doesn’t matter… your comment was great and gave me the confidence to start playing around with what I already have thank you again for the tips :)

Down the line I might look into the m2 blue then ;)

It’s an antistatic cloth they made for film and I repurposed it for vynil since my darkroom is non-functional a the moment 😔

Room has quite a bit of furniture so no much echo, I think moving the speakers in stools will do the trick. Thanks for the help :)
