    Marantz 1120 - buzz after hours of listening

    Hello, First I want to thank you all for the valuable information that helped me get my 1120 restored. I did the tone board that included noisy transistors and the power supply board. This made a big difference because I was getting random pops that would turn on the protection circuit and turn...

    Solid state amps all sound the same?

    I never believed all SS amps sounded the same, after all I compared the amp section in my receiver vs that of a separ!ate amp and the difference was night and day. Over the years I've acquired a few "mid-fi" amps and those all sounded the same with both my PSB IMage t6s and my Paradigm studio 20...

    Demand for Reproduction Lamp housings?

    Hey guys, I am new to this forum but not new to vintage Marantz equipment. After taking apart my mint condition 2238B I was very frustrated to learn that almost every tab was broken on both the main lamp housing and the meter housings. Because of this I have decided to design and make...

    Marantz Model 1200 Left Channel Issue

    Hello AK, I recapped my Model 1200 in 2011 thanks to all the help from various members. I still love the sound and look of the model, but for a while I have been noticing the left channel is quieter than the right channel, especially right after I power on. If I keep using it, the left channel...

    First time dollars and sense poster... I have an opportunity to purchase a Lafayette Stereo 550 or KT-550. I think they are the same except the KT is the kit built version.

    Hi AK friends! Hope you're well. This is my first post here. A friend brought in his Marantz 2220B which isn't switching to "active" mode anymore.

    Replaced 2245 Marantz Power Switch - Now No Sound On Right Side

    I replaced the power switch and it all turns on and works, except the right side speakers (main and remote) it isn't the speaker cuz I tested the speaker on the left side and it works. Both channels worked before replacing the power switch. Any ideas? Are they related? Fixes? Thanks!
