    Need advice on a possible gear purchase.

    Right now I have an opportunity to buy a McIntosh 2105 amp with a McIntosh C-26 Preamp and a set of McIntosh ML-1 speakers for 3,000 USD. Right now I’m using a 100 watt marantz 4300 with a set of Klipsch KG 4s. I know at 3 grand I’m getting into tube amp territory. Would I be better off getting...

    Denon DL-103R w/ Shibata for Marantz 6370Q... good match?

    Someone is selling me their Denon DL-103R with shibata needle for around $250. Really tempted to buy it, but from what I understand the 103r likes to have a heavy tonearm. Not too sure if my 6370Q is considered "heavy" enough for this Denon to truly shine. Think it's more of a medium than a...

    Need help with Rotel RB-980BX power amp in protection.

    My RB-980BX was stuck in protection mode. I checked every component on the circuit board, replaced a couple of resistors that were slightly out of spec and replaced all the smaller caps. I could not find any issues with the output transistors with my DMM or the four large caps so I left those as...

    I have strayed.....but I have returned to the fold.

    Friends, I have let temptation lead me down the path of audio lust. For the last 4-ish years I've relied on a 2230b. I bought this pristine machine off Craigslist for $50(!) and it excelled sonically on everything. Besting everything I owned previously. But....I kept hearing about a Harman...

    Marantz 1060 - Can't set bias, output cap overvoltage

    Hi I have recapped my 1060 and powered up to set the bias but I am seeing C006 (Nichion 6800uF 63v) go to ~70v. Adjusting the R723 makes no difference. I have checked that the pots are all working. The other channel is at a reasonable level. Have any of you come across this before or able...

    I have a Koetsu cartridge with an output of 0.4 Millivolts. My receiver is a Marantz 2275. My question is, do I need an additional phono preamp to accommodate the moving coil cartridge? I have been listening to my turntable with it connected directly to the Marantz receiver, with the only...

    Marantz 2216 amplifier board question

    Have a quick question for any Marantz gurus. I have a 2216 that had a blown right channel. Since I was replacing the output transistors I went ahead and totally rebuilt the board. New caps, new output transistors, new trim pots, new resistors at R735-R738. The transistors I used were as...

    Working on 2325 with left channel out. The sound output returned when I was using RCAs to test and crossing channels between Pre-out and Main. I noticed RCA was sensitive to touch on one of the Pre-Out RCA outputs causing the left channel sound to cut in and out. I used Deoxit D5 spray and...
