May I introduce, the Marantz TT 240. I couldn't find anything regarding Clearaudio's involvement on this one. Obviously they went with a more reputable company like Fisher Price perhaps. Here it is as I found it.



This thing is simply shameful. Gives whole new meaning to BPC. But you're probably wondering why I have it...

Some of you may recall my curbside haul of amps. This was with it. It requires a P-mount cart, so it's sat in the closet. I stopped into my local hifi shop today, and they gifted me a used Audio Technica 90CD. It has an adaptor for standard use, but being a conical, I doubt I'll use it. If anything I'll leave it on this monstrosity and sell it on Kijiji.



What's the sound of a man typing? I am hearing it right now, for the first time in my life. It's spinning on my comp desk and as I type, the pounding is audible. Just brutal. Also, even after a cleaning, the direct drive is all over the place. No quartz lock here. Makes ya appreciate Technics. Hell my belt driven Pioneer puts this to shame.

Anyhow, thought you guys would get a kick out of this relic.
