    Power switch Marantz 2270: my attempt

    I know that replacement switches for Marantz's can be ordered for not much money, and this is my backup plan. I recently acquired a 2270 with the common faulty switch problem and am replacing it. I went to a local electrical supply store that has a good selection of switches and located a...

    Marantz 2270 left channel issue.

    I have a 2270 that I have owned since early 2000's. I am the second owner. I bought it from original owner with all the original packing boxes (double boxed), owners manual, etc. It was a super-lucky find and I knew back in those days that at tag sale price he was asking (because his family...

    How to hook up headphone amp?

    I recently came into some good headphones, Sennhieser HD600, which I figured would be much better with a separate headphone amp. I just got a Schiit Vali 1 amp to plug everything into and I stupidly thought that I could just plug it into another input on my Marantz 2270, but then I realized that...

    My recent subwoofer swap...

    I posted earlier with a question of how to hook up this new sub that I got, a SVS SB-2000, that I was fortunate to get from a friend that was getting rid of some unused audio stuff (I can't remember the sub that he kept but it was something REALLY high end). I got the RCA Y-cords and a length of...

    Silly receiver question...

    I'm about to buy the Y cords that I need to hook up this new subwoofer that I have to my Marantz 2270. I'll be using those Y cords on the preamp/power amp inputs and outputs. Since I'd rather not move my receiver, until I'm doing the hookup, because it's a big PIA with the way that it's set up...

    Pairing my Tempest LS-5's

    Long-time lurker, first-time poster here, I'm replacing a receiver for my tempest LS-5 floor speakers. My previous receiver was a Toshiba SA-7100 which was sold due to one of the channels continuously cutting out. My wife is all about the aesthetics of Marantz - she loves the blue lights...

    Marantz 2270 noisy bass control when cold

    I have a partially restored 2270 that appears to work great. One of its minor quirks is that the bass tone control knob makes a rumbling noise, but only for about the first 10-15 seconds after the unit is powered up. Could this be a dodgy cap on the tone board? Anyone have any ideas? Happy...

    Small speakers recommendations... on a budget?

    I was just thinking (obsessing, really) about my audio gear, as I so often do whenever I have a free minute and considering replacing a set of speakers that I have. For my main room, I pretty much have everything the way that I want it (at least for the time being) but I have a set of remote...

    Ohm load on my Marantz 2270?

    I've been swapping around speakers run by my Marantz 2270 receiver (i have 2 sets plugged into it) which for a a while (nearly a couple of decades!) it had two 8 ohm pairs hooked up to it. When I moved to a couple of 6 ohm speakers I ran everything though a speaker switcher which has a speaker...

    Speaker wire questions...

    I just bought a pair of Quad 12L speakers, which incidentally I'm quite happy with and as part of the deal I got a pair of Audio Quest speaker wires. They're the bi-wire type with banana plugs on both ends. I'm thinking about using these with another set of speakers that I have, a set of Jamo...

    Tekton Mini Lore Monitors - thoughts?

    Marantz 2270 with a power amp and which one?

    I posted some time ago regarding a bit of frustration I was having with my 2270 combo and the set of Elac Debut 6.2 speakers that I was using. The combo sounded very good to my ears but lacked the juice that I was used to with the older, more efficient (but far less great sounding) speakers I've...

    Cool new phono preamp, new stylus and question about ground wire

    So I was on here some time ago, asking about a new cartridge for my Technics SL 1300 table. You folks talked me into getting a new stylus (an upgraded "nude elliptical" style, Audio Technica) for my Signet cartridge, rather than ordering a whole new cartridge. In a crazy zeal to improve the...

    Replacing Vintage Marantz Speaker Binding Posts

    Hello AK I'm new to AK and I'm working on restoring my Marantz 2270. I bought it in 1973 in Germany along with JBL L-100s. I know this might anger some purists but I would like to replace the speaker binding posts on both the JBL speakers and my 2270. Has anyone done this? Have recommendations...

    Adcom GFS-3 protection circuit questions..?

    I run a couple sets of speakers from a single amp and have been using a Niles Switcher rather than the A/B speaker outs from my receiver because the Niles has a protection mode switch for the occasional times that I run those two sets of speakers at the same time. Both sets of speakers that I...

    Jamo c 103 vs Elac Debut 6.2

    I'm running a pair of Elac Debut 6.2 speakers with a Marantz 2270 receiver. The sound I'm getting is really good, with the possible exception of really high volume (no I can't say the db#) as I believe that my Marantz though it's powerful enough for most volumes isn't quite powerful enough to...

    Hooking up two sets of speakers to one subwoofer?

    I'm considering maybe buying another set of speakers to run with my Marantz 2270 receiver. I have some Elac Debut B6.2s which sound great with it but because of the relative inefficiency these things they don't seem to go as loud as my old, far inferior speakers did.

    Another speaker switcher protection button question

    I bought this Niles speaker switcher thing a while ago so that I wouldn't blow up my Marantz 2270 receiver by running two sets of 6 ohm speakers together. It has a "protection" button which when engaged prevents the speaker pair from drawing too much power. I was told this when I got the thing...

    Speaker recommendations...?

    Ok... so I upgraded my system a bit recently, starting with these Elac Debut 6.2 speakers which I've really been liking. They sound to me worlds better than the 35 or so year old Mirage speakers that I was using, with their non-original and likely poorly matched replacement drivers. The Elacs...

    I recently bought a pair of Warfedale Diamond 10.1s, which I like OK but am not exactly wowed by them (I'm comparing them with my Elac Debut 6.2s) and I see that there's a cheap pair ($90) of KEF Q15 and I wonder what folks' opinions are. Am I likely to dig the KEFs more... because I could...
