    Marantz 1060 Integrated + Boston HD-10 Speakers, a Match Made in Heaven

    I'm sure this has been done to death here, but I just had to add my two cents worth playing speaker/amp matchmaker. The Marantz 1060 integrated amplifier was born in the early '70s and the Boston HD-10s were born in the early '90s. So a bit of a May-December romance there, to be sure. I'm not...

    Are new audio caps hard to find?

    I have a Marantz 1060 at a Tech for a full recap restoration First time I got it back from him. The subwoofer I used with high level inputs, wouldn't pass power on to left speaker. (Subwoofer now has an issue.) 1060 went back to tech. He said DC problem with left channel. Then a left channel...

    Marantz 1060 grounding

    I am working on a major rebuild/recap of a 1060 and have run into an area I don't recall seeing addressed in the the many past threads/postings on the 1060: grounding. The unit I am rebuilding has clearly been worked on by someone before, so it is not always clear what is original and what is...

    Marantz 1060 as a Photo Stage and as a Preamp

    I have been connecting my turntable to the 1060 integrated amp. Lately there is a tube integrated Willsenton R8 offered to me at a very reasonable price. However, the R8 doesn't have phono in. I have two options: to use the 1060 as a pre to utilise the phono stage in it and feed it into the R8...

    Good looking and sounding1060 a worthwhile restoration candidate?

    Your Opinions wanted. Subjective as we all are. As titled, is this model a good candidate for effort/money to restore to possibly near original performance? My 1060 has very good face condition. Speaker posts function well. Inside looks good. Looks like previous owner took care of it. I like...

    Adaptive Loudness on Marantz 1060

    I was listening to my newly recapped (among other electronic components) Marantz 1060, and I was shocked at how great it sounded. I kept switching between it and another amp. The bass was kickin'! It didn't matter what volume I was listening at. I couldn't figure out what was happening, then...

    Audio sounding muddy - Marantz cd6005 through Marantz 1060

    Hello - I recently acquired a Marantz 1060 and a Marantz cd6005. The 1060 sounds pretty good when connected to a turntable, but sounds really bad when I play a cd on the cd player cd6005. The cd player sounds great through the headphone jack. So boils down to the Marantz 1060. I have tried all...

    Looking for a Marantz WC-10 for my 1060 in the UK (or EU)

    Anyone have a source for a wood case for Marantz 1060 (WC10)? Repro or original. Found one site in Germany that makes them, but prior to that wanted to see if anyone on the AK had any suggestions. Thanks in advance!

    Tube Sound: Pre-Amp or Power Amp

    In my quest to look for a pre-amp for my MC2205, a new question popped up in my mind: Which is more important in producing the tube sound? The pre-amp, or the power amp? The 2205 is currently fed by the pre-amp section of Marantz 1060, just because I have a Rega Planer 3 TT, or else I'd just...

    1060 rebuild on deck

    Good afternoon AKers! I've got a 1060 on deck for a rebuild. It hasn't been powered up in a couple years and the glue on the boards has corroded most of the caps pretty well. Nothing has been touched in the power supply since it was manufactured, so it's long overdue for some attention. I've...

    McIntosh MC2205 - Finding a Preamp

    I have just acquired a used 2205. I'm looking for a preamp for it. There are these on offer from different sellers: Marantz 1060 McIntosh MX118 Ignoring the difference in price, which one would give better sound when paired with 2205?

    Need help with Marantz 1060 dead amplifier section

    Hello AKers I have read almost all the wonderful postings on the Marantz 1060 but would still appreciate some specific input. I bought a 1060 unit many years ago and used it as a preamp only since the power amp section was completely dead on both channels. The preamp section is still very strong...

    Marantz 1060 power amp gets weird when speakers are attached

    I've been wrestling with this 1060 on and off for a few months. When I acquired it, the left channel was fine; the right channel was always very distorted. After an initial tune-up (cleaned the pots and replaced most of the caps/trannies/diodes), the left channel sill works fine and the right...

    Fixing Marantz 1060 power amp - Right channel

    Hi all, Following on from my other thread (http://audiokarma.org/forums/index.php?threads/replacing-caps-on-marantz-1060-can-i-use-np-caps.770598/) I'm now going about fixing the right channel of the power amp. It was going beautifully until the right channel got some pretty decent hum in it...

    Marantz 1060 Integrated Amp Value?

    Seller says it's working. Provided photos show it to be clean, no dings, wood grain metal cover. Asking $220. Normally I get a good idea by looking at sold items on the bay, but the prices for the 1060 (not the 1060B) are all over the place $100-$500. Seems some people will pay a premium for...

    Marantz 1060 : complete overhaul

    Hello again, This is my first 1060, bought off our local auction site, knowing it was defective. This time it wasn't an easy fix.... It turns out the amp board had been badly hacked in attempted repairs, the rest is fine and untouched. See this thread about how I built a whole new P700 amp board...

    Marantz 1060 Setup (Newbie)

    Hi Gang, Just received a really nice 1060. I run Infinity RS7B speakers and have a Polk powered sub. I also have a Schiit Mani preamp from my turntable to amp/receiver. What is the best way to setup my new Marantz? I guess I'm not clear if I am good with it as is (I only listen to vinyl) or...

    Marantz 1060 with butchered P700 amp board - questions !

    Hello all ! I bought this 1060 knowing it was defective, for a good price. It’s quite grimy inside but nice on the outside. The amp board has been butchered by some previous owner, quite an ugly job. The other boards luckily look untouched. After taking the board completely out, I tested the...

    Marantz 1030/1060 P700 Board Replica

    Hi, I bought this Marantz 1060 "in perfectly working condition" ;) recently. Don't ask for the price I paid :eek:. What I saw inside however, was a P700 board devastated by some “criminal” and a baked transformer (you know the smell). As you can see from the pictures, there are lots of burnt...
