    Thanks Dave looks like the nr1200 might be best option. Could connect a turntable to it at some point? It has phono stage built in?

    Can you price match these guys on the nr1200?

    Hi Mick.

    Unfortunately the product listed on Hyperfi is a B stock item and not a new sealed product.
    B Stock Item - 12 Month Manufacturers Warranty

    I could offer a brand new one at £475 delivered.

    Hi Mick.

    I could get to £450 unfortunately.

    Very best I could offer would be £460 on the NR1200.
    Which speaker stands did you go for in the end? I've been off the last few days.

    You could or couldn’t :)

    I went for the mission stands in the end. I think they had slightly larger top plate which maybe swung the decision

    Order 139615

    What’s the easiest way to order the nr1200 if I did want to proceed?
    Thanks
    Mick

    Hi kenny,
    Something funny with my stand order. It cost me 122 euro which I think equates to something like 95 pounds but it should have been 95 euro as per your original post?

    Hi Mick.

    Easiest way is to let me know if you want to go ahead and we can call you to finalise the order.

    The stands will be shipping tomorrow via DPD.

    Looks like the link Dave gave me for ordering was for the stancette 2 which is more expensive. Could we swap in the sound style stands in the order and use the balance to bring down the cost of the marantz? I’ll pm you phone number so we can chat

    Hi Mick.

    I think the issue was that you ordered at the sterling price of £99.95 plus £6.99 shipping rather than at the 95 Euro price.
    https://euro.richersounds.ie/p-200307-mission-stancette-black-per-pair.aspx?swapstore=1

    I have adjusted the pricing on the Stancette's inline with the Euro pricing which now leaves £23.34 on your account.
    Left to pay on the NR1200 would then be £436.66

    Hi kenny,
    Thinking I might order some speaker wire for inclusion with the order. I need about 12 metres or so. What would you recommend to go with the nr1200 and bowers and Wilkins 606sa?



    Cheers
    Mick

    Hi Mick.

    You could check out the Ultra Micro priced at £3.19 per meter.
    https://www.richersounds.ie/p-910743-cambridge-audio-ultra-micro-speaker-cable-per-metre.aspx

    I could offer it at £2.50 per meter.

    Let me know your thoughts.

    Hi Mick.

    The Ultra micro is a silver based cable and will perform better than most thick cables :)

    16 meters would come to £40

    I'll get this added to your order that is shipping today.

    Hi kenny,

    All arrived today and setup. One slight issue is that I have both the nr1200 and sr6012 in the same hi fi rack. When I switch on one the other comes on as I guess they use the same ir codes.

    Is there any way to change the ir codes the nr1200 uses so I don’t have the conflict?

    Thanks;
    Mick

    Hi Mick.

    Glad everything as arrived and you are up and running.

    I'll be honest. I have no idea if you can change the IR codes on the Marantz remotes.

    From some research online I found another person with a similar issue.
    "Eventually, the marantz support got back to me and told me that it is possible to change the IR codes for the PM6005 and its remote so that it won't clash with the NR1506.
    This is possible the holding CD + ( one of the 1/2/3 keys ) for 5 seconds to change the remote's codes and CD + Enter for 5 seconds to change the unit itself."

    I'll see if I can find anything out from Marantz but it might be worth dropping them an email also.


    Let me know your thoughts.

    Hi Kenny - i actually use a Harmony remote - shouldn't matter if i can change the remote control ir set and the receiver set.. i can always learn the commands on the harmony if needed. The other option im looking at is smart plugs to kill the power to the units so there's only one on at a time. do you have an email for marantz in could use? ideally id change the nr1200 ir set as it would be used less

    thanks,
    mick

    Hi Mick.

    Ahhh...

    The smart plugs is another option which as you say will only have one unit on at a time to avoid the cross over of the ir.

    The only way I see to contact Marantz Technical is very the link below:
    https://www.marantz.com/en-gb/contactus/contact

    I'll see if our service guys might have another.

    Hi kenny,
    Got this back from marantz

    Response By E-mail (Dan) (18/02/2021 05.51 PM)
    Dear Customer,

    Unfortunately both these units do not have a remote code id feature and therefore it is not possible to prevent the ir conflict.

    I went with the smart plugs which do the job

    Question on speaker placement. I can only sit about 5 feet from the speakers due to room layout...is it too close?

    Hi Mick,

    Glad you were able to find a solution!

    In terms of speaker placement the distance shouldn't be too much of an issue as you can adjust the levels and distance in the settings so they should suit any size of room!

    Let me know what you think!

    Kind regards

    David

    No after buying the amplifier I think I’d rather go with a turntable without one. Is there anything in the 225 euro range that would be worth considering?
