Mickey - did you notice any degradation in sound quality when going from the built in phono stage of the Marantz over to the Pyle? That's the one downside I was thinking of not using a switch.
I have a similar setup as you, except I use one TT and two different amplifiers. I also use the second "out" on my phono stage, but one is RCA and the other is balanced.

at first I thought I did. but this invites further testing. Main concern at the moment is both tables have zero space underneath , having plastic housings. Concern will be heat dispersion on the receiver. so I have these 1/4 inch felt stick ons that I hope allow for enough space to disperse. Barring that I would have to change out the stand I am using which currently is MCM 3 drawer piece with one side a storage area with a door. I suppose I could double up the feet to get some more height....
There is such a difference anyway between the 2 tables. Technics is dead quiet whereas the Dual you can hear the operation of the mechanics to a degree. The Dual has several points where contact points can tarnish , diminishing sound some.
In addition the shop only replaced one bad cap. So what I plan to do is learn and practice soldering to the point I can do a near full restoration on the 2265B first and then the 2275. For now the 2275 is solid enough.
Seems to be working out as is with the Pyle to the 2275. What I can do with the 2265B is run 2 tables through phono 1 & 2 then get a switch or 2 pre amps like the Pyle to utilize both tape 1 & 2 or Tape 1 and Aux....
Wife with be dumbfounded and not understand but I would be able to get the 1216, 1219, 1229Q , 1257 running though that....
Trying to think of a good A/B comparison record. Thinking TEN . I have the Target purple and the Super Deluxe remixed versions. Or t he Vitalogy OG and the remastered version? OG DSOTM and the remaster? Can always open up another Alive 12in single to do the A/B that way. Same record, same pressing ..... have several spare copies to sell or give away if anyone is in need?
Hmm, can do Brubeck Time Out , OG 59 and 61 repress mono both.

further listening to various titles from Lanegan dont show any difference to my ear between the two. His voice is consitent across titles and the music is similar that way too.
so this is either a good review/recommendation for an very inexpensive Pyle preamp or evidence of an inexperienced casual listener ear on my part....

Listened to FI front to back. these fuckers add an echo-y feel. like being at a show... more depth and fullness..... If my wife wasn't home I would be seeing what these puppies can really do.... Have to wait til the weekend when she goes to the pool, weather permitting....

re-foam kit is on the way for the 66's.....
Marantz did a really nice job designing and making speakers, even though other companies back in the day sold better.
I'm still searching for a clean pair of Imperial 6's.
If hope can grow from dirt like me, it can be done. - EV

switched technics to aux , only because its 1 position change on the dial to aux and not 2 to tape 1.
zero change in sound to my ear in either input, several sessions in now.

My new work are sound system. Looks good, sounds decent, very affordable.
Nice setup! What model is that Marantz? Also, what speakers are you using?
Thanks! Yes, its a Marantz 2220 B. I picked it up dirt cheap years ago because it had some issues, and then later trade an audio repair guy my old JVC for his time to do repairs and it works fine. The speakers are Polk Audio TSi100 bookshelf speakers, same as what I use in my den. The turn table is a replacement for an old UK Goldring that I finally got tired of fussing with. I gave it to the young man who has been helping us with some home repairs. The new TT is a Project Debut III with Ortofon OM 5E cartridge. I didn't want to spend a lot for a second turntable, but for the money, I'm plenty satisfied with this one.

Argh! Spoke too soon about how great this all is. After all that work... the Marantz has crapped out. The ports for the
turntable connectors must be corroded because everything else works
fine. I cleaned the connectors with DeoxIT and that seemed to help for
a few minutes but then most of the signal crapped out again. It's
something internal and with my shaky hand, I would no more tear into a
piece of stereo equipment than I would try to perform surgery. So
bummed! No one does electronics repair around here. Of course, getting
anything fixed anywhere these days is getting more and more difficult
in our throw-away society.
