Marantz 1060 Restoration Project

Really awesome workmanship and great explanation of the restore. :tresbon:

Someday I will recap my 2270, but I have no need for it right now. I just completely restored my Hafler DH 220 using a Musical Concept lit with better components than it ever had. It sounds better than ever, meaning that it sounds a bit different, to make it sound better. It had about a three month break in period were the sound had phases such as: (1) instantly better and improving - (2) all of a sudden kind of dry - (3) warming and improving again reaching an amazingly good sound.

I noticed that most re-caps projects use much better parts than what were available back in the day. Can you describe the sound in comparison to before the restore? Do you notice changes as it breaks in?

thanks, Bob
 
Thanks Blue Shadow, have the unit, SM and schematic.. Leestereo and bktheking have already been huge helps supplying their parts list, but want to more follow Tiber's rebuild as like the idea of using Nichicon and Elna's caps but cant get onto him/her.. Guess I will try my best and post the uf/v differences in my parts list and see if anyone can help me out.. Thanks again.. Tom.

Pretty easy to see what he used from pics:

P/S: Elna Cerafine
Large Caps: Nichicon KG
All others: Elna Silmic II
He replaced the films with Orange Drops.

I would consider yourself fortunate to have that parts list from BK and Lee as what they did was a technical knock out, and may be one of the best thought out and executed rebuilds I have seen here.

Tiber, where's your blog gone. I used to check it out from time to time and have been thinking of recapping my advents in a similar manner.

If you've moved it send me the link.
