    What's the deal with Marantz?

    I have to say the cases look very identical. I would surmise that is a reflection of the persona wood craftsmanship to replicate the look of an original.

    What's the deal with Marantz?

    Those look great in the wooden cases. I was told to allow the receiver room to ventilate air and to not stack them without that spacer between. It would seem these wooden cases allow you to stack and allow air flow to both of them. I wonder if this is something I could make and stain myself. I...

    What's the deal with Marantz?

    Sad to say the tape deck I had bought off eBay was stolen from my front porch before I got home. I have a open claim with FedEx and tomorrow should be notified if they found the package.

    What's the deal with Marantz?

    I like a variety of music. I would say I Lena more to Spanish guitsr, Blues, Blues Grass, Jazz, and rock from the 70s-90s. Pretty much music died for me in the 2000s. However I do like some more modern music. I just don't typically listen to it or seek it out.

    At the moment I am skimming thorough the 90+ page thread of people's Marantz units. It's helping me to see a wealth of options. Which in turn has shown a few options that are very much in my price range on eBay.

    Thank you Steve and Pio for the history lesson. And a look at what drew you to the brand. To be honest I am still debating in what kind of set up I want. I feel since I am starting out I'll probabaly lean towards some items more mid range in price. My father is the one with the disposable...
