    if you could go take back one piece of sound equipment you got rid of

    Even though it was a long time ago, I still miss my Marantz 1060 integrated amp and my Dual 1229Q turntable.

    What's the longest you've owned a piece of gear?

    I still have a Dual CS-5000 I purchased new in 1985. It still works flawlessly.

    Worst regrets selling a piece of equipment!

    I’m showing my age here but two things I sold years ago still bother me: A Marantz 1060 in the factory wooden case and a Dual 1229Q.

    Songbird: The Incredible Voice of Eva Cassidy

    Believe it or not, although I have an extensive vinyl collection going back many years, I did not have a single album by Eva Cassidy! So I decided to give her a try and recently ordered three of her vinyl LPs. I started out with “Acoustic” earlier today and all I can say is what a great way to...

    Best solid state amp or receiver you have listened to?

    I have loved and lost so many and I couldn’t really say which was or is the best but I am sure of one thing: I have received the most pleasure from my beloved Marantz 2250B!

    Yamaha AVR turns on by itself

    I have a Marantz SACD player that I would find on occasionally, usually early in the morning, even when I started paying close attention to make sure I was turning it off when done using it. I did TWO things: I turned it off by using the switch on the unit instead of using the remote and...

    Heresy! Suggestions for a new receiver

    My first choice would be a Marantz. My second choice would be a Yamaha. I would have no need to go any further.

    Best way to protect an amplifier during shipping?

    One more suggestion: do not negate the importance of communication between the buyer and shipper. Some years ago, I found what I felt to be a perfect pair of JBL 4312 speakers on eBay. Unfortunately, the seller was in California and I was in Ohio. I had had many bad experiences in the past...

    Upgrade to Marantz 2285B from 2250?

    My opinion: I personally would not spend a net $450 to upgrade to the 2285B that you want. I gotta agree with the other guys who have suggested you buy a power amp instead and use the 2250 as a preamp/tuner. I have a 2250 and my tuner works fine, even in the boondocks where I live. The 2250 and...

    Upgrade to Marantz 2285B from 2250?

    Per the owner’s manual for your speakers, the manufacturer’s recommended amplifier power is 30W to 100W RMS into 8 ohms. These speakers seem to be very highly rated. In my opinion, you shouldn’t have any problems. But please heed JoeESP9’s advice above!

    Pangea Racks?

    These Pangea racks certainly get the job done but I would definitely get the caster kit that is available. It’s tough to move with just the spikes and there is a possibility of tipping the whole thing over without the casters.
