    Wood case for Marantz 5220 and a Marantz 6300 on top

    Hi I just bought a Marantz 5220 and Tadic in Serbia will make a wood case for me. I also have a Marantz 6300 that I plan to place on top of the 5220 when I get the wood case.

    Dynaco SCA-35 Heat with Wood Case

    Hey everyone, I’d love to hear from anyone who has run a Dynaco SCA-35 with the Dynaco wood case that has the routed slots on top — that is, the Dynaco cab 1D. I’ve read some people speculating that the SCA-35 would get too hot in a wood case, but I would be curious to hear from anyone who has...

    How would a black-face Pioneer SX-440 look with a full wood enclosure?

    Today I received my 2nd Pioneer receiver, an SX-440. I had noticed that it's dimensions are pretty similar to the SX-1000TW which I already own, and on a whim tried fitting the SX-440 in the SX-1000TW's wood case and it actually looks pretty great! Unfortunately it isn't a perfect fit as the...

    Amplifier Case Ventilation

Earlier I had purchased a MC 2105 amp and a C 29 preamp and built wood cases...

    I'm a woodworker - not an audiophile

    Hi, I'm Scott, a 71 year old woodworker from Ohio. It's my grandson that is the audio guy. He has a Kenwood KR 6030 that he has refurbished electronically. And he has asked his dear old grampa to make a wood case for his receiver. It's a box! How hard could that be for a woodworker? Well...

    Wood case for Harman Kardon 330B??

    I recently acquired an HK330B in lovely condition from the original owner - it sounds great and I feel like I’ve finally found the receiver that speaks to me and gives me the sound I enjoy! This particular unit did not come with a wood case however, and I feel like that would really class it...

    Cutting reproduction screens for Marantz wood cases

    I took a video of the local manufacturer I use to laser cut screens for me. Its a heck of a lot faster and more accurate than a metal cutting blade on my jigsaw or grinder!

    ok, so here's some quick mock up picks of my Amp Cabinet builds. I run two C-500's verticals bi-amped. This is a mock up of the LEFT channel amp. The gaps you see are where 1"X1"x14" strips of polished plexiglass go. I am placing small controllable led aqua blue lights inside the cabinet to...

    Quick question for those that ship receivers all the time. I have a great packing system for standard Marantz receivers (and others) and never experience damage in transit. But I've never shipped one with a wood case installed. Anything I should look out for? Should the case be shipped...
