I just built a Dynaco ST-70 kit from Bob Latino. It sounds great but I need a preamp. I have a couple of Marantz 1060 amps lying around. Question: Should I just use one of the 1060s as a pre amp or should I look for a tube pre amp or something better?

Hi, I'm interested in getting an old British Quad FM tuner, maybe tube. Are these really good tuners and could I pull in an FM station from 45 miles away with a decent antenna? I have no issue pulling this station in with my car radios but cannot do it with my stationary tuners or radios...

I have the opportunity to but a Marantz 2265 for $350 with wood case. The case needs some work but I have walnut veneer and experience. The unit is working but has a light or two burned out. It this a fair deal? I currently have Marantz 1060 (3) and a 2235 receiver, which I love. They all...

Howdy Ya'll, I really love the nice warm sound of the Marantz amps and receivers. I currently have three 1060s and a 2235. I'm about to pick up a 2240 as well. Anyway, what is the most desirable and best sounding Marantz amp or receiver? I've got a line on a 2275 as potentially my next...

I'm having an issue with hooking up my I-Pod to my Marantz 1060 amp and on my Marantz 2235 receiver. The music sounds like crap. This I-Pod is 8 years old so I think it actually has a small hard drive of 8G. I'm using the headphone jack and running it into thr RCA in for Aux. Also, the...

I just picked up a pair of nice KLH 17s and the speakers are very dry and bare on the perimeters. They do sound great though. Where can I find speaker surround dope? I checked Ebay under Vintage AR and couldn't find anything. Does anybody have a link? Thanks!

Hi All, I have a couple Marantz 1060 amps I'm getting repaired and I wondered how does the Marantz 1060 compare to Marantz receivers such as the 2265, 2275, 2285? Obviously, the receivers put out more power but what about the sound quality, is it the same, comparable? I have a Dual 1229...

I'm in the middle of rebuilding some KLH model 6 speakers from 1964. Well, I have removed the backs and the fronts, all intact. It wasn't easy. I have the crossovers I'm rebuilding too. New caps and resistors. I made a cleat with wood inside of the cabinet at the back, just like the front...

I'm in the process of rebuilding soem KLH 6 speakers I got off of Ebay. The tweeters do not work so I'm assuming the crossovers are bad. I ordered all the caps and resistors. I took the back off of the cabinet. Now, these are old KLH 6s as they do not come apart. I had to cut with a thin...

I just bought a pair of KLH model 6 speakers off of Ebay. They work but there are no highs. I suspect the tweaters or crossovers are bad. I flipped the switch on the back with no differences. How do I gain access to these speakers? I can't seem to remove the grills. The cabinets are in...

HI everybody. My name is Randy I live in northern Wisconsin US. I'm putting together my old stereo from the 70s. Marantz 1060 amp, Dual 1229 and 1226 turntables. I just picked up two KLH model 6 speakers from the late 60s. They should he here tomorrow. Anyway, I have a dead channel on my...

I have a Marantz model 1060 amp with a blown channel. I have replaced the P700 and P400 circuit boards with known good ones, and the four power transistors as well as Deoxit the whole amp. All to no avail. The single channel sounds great, no fuzz, no crackling. What could be wrong? All that...

I have a Marantz model 1060 amp that I bought with my paper route money back in 1974. It has one bad channel. I have been working on this trying to trouble shoot it for one month now. All that I possess is a VOM. I have replaced the P700 main amp board with a good one out of another amp, as...
