Seems like a tremendous value and has received some nice reviews as well.

I would love to hear some of your opinions/thoughts on this table. Is it worth considering?

Hi John,

While Marantz is not known for Turntables, Clearaudio certainly is. I do not know the Turntable at all. But all 3 reviews sound rather consistent. If correct, a like prepared (or similarly prepared) Clearaudio Turntable would sell for $2275 as indicated. It seems like it would be a good upgrade from your Revolver. Basically it is an $800 or $875 MM Clearaudio Wood bodied cartridge with the rest of the Turntable, tonearm, other parts and the special feet. Of course, if you want to change the cartridge to another MM or a MC cartridge, this is not as good a buy. Also, be aware that it only plays 33 & 45 RPM records and does not offer 78 RPM if you have them.
