Has anyone heard of Marantz ST30?

Most likely the same ST-300 BOLLY notes.

Marantz had a habit at the time of dropping one or two zeros off the model numbers for some of the units they sold outside the USA. They were maddeningly inconsistent in this policy, as the Esotec line, for example, used the same model numbers in all parts of the world.

A perfect example is the Marantz ST-500 tuner: The export version of this tuner was the ST-5. :cool:

Little correction; St-5 had a different apearence then the ST-500 and ST-510.

ST-5 had round knobs and belonged to the Esotec series.

Inside differences i am not awere of

Interesting info - Thank you. :thmbsp:

We were a big Marantz dealer, but dropped them about the time they came out with the Esotec series.

I rememer the Esotec ST-7 and ST-8 tuners, which were cosmetically updated 2130 tuners.

What's interesting about the ST-5/ST-500 is that it has a selectible IF and I don't ever remember seeing it when our rep was begging us to sell Esotec.

Marantz would not have designed a new RF and IF section just for this ST-5 Esotec - They would have used an already existing design or modified it only slightly.

Do you have any idea of where the RF and IF section of the ST-5 Esotec originated? :cool:
 
I recently sold my ancient Onkyo T15 tuner and bought an Onkyo T-4000. I can't find anything on this model at FMtunerinfo. Anybody know where this one stands in the tuner foodchain?

Update, only 2 ceramic filters... :thumbsdn: Kinda low on the foodchain, though the it does work well with the Onkyo P-3200 preamp via the R1 remote.

Will look for something better. :scratch2:

Right now, a Sony ST-5000FW and just picked up a Phillips AH673 cheap at GW. Both are first class machines - the Sony is warmer and fatter; the Phillips, clean and silent.

Recently, picked up and sold:

Denon TU-660 - a decent little digital machine

Sanyo Plus T35 - cool looking, nice sound. Why did I sell it????

Onkyo T-4090 - boxed up as a donation for AK. More than decent.
 
Hi,
My 1st Tuner and I still have it playing it now, hooked up to My Sansui AU-717.
Realistic TM-7 Stereo Tuner. I bought it in the 1960's $ 79.95! Picture from 1969, and Sunday 2006

Plays great!
John..

I have a:
McIntosh MR67 (tube)
McIntosh7082 (solid state)
Pioneer TX-130 (solid state)
Fisher TFM-300 (hybrid tube/solid state)

I have just acquired an all tube Fisher FM-1000 Multiplex Broadcast Monitor built in 1962. It looks great but works suboptimally, so it now awaits my tech's examination in his shop.

Just added a Yamaha CT-7000 and T-2 to my flock. Also had one of my ST-J75 tuners fully refurb'd with a Black Gate recap, etc., by dr*audio. Not sure that it is new, but certainly up-graded.
 
Yamaha CT-810, CT-1010 & T-1. Glenn (B-2), the T-1 is a very strong tuner with very solid bass...still have yet to do a side by side with the CT-1010.
 
Only one, an Adcom GFT 2, modded by Don Scott that I just purchased. Really nice sound and tremendous reception. :music:

i don't wanna rain on your parade, but i humbly suggest sending it to someone like bob fitzgerald, bill ammons, mike williams, etc, that actually knows how to align a tuna, so you can hear how it's *really* supposed to sound & receive stations... :scratch2:

ymmv,
