Which LEDs for Marantz 2325 ?

[yurka77]

Want to upgrade the 8 fuse style front bulbs. Can someone please let me know which LEDs will work best for Marantz 2325 (not 2235) and where to get them. I would like to have the color that comes closest to the original bulbs, so no harsh blue. thanks in advance

i found these, but was wondering who has done this and recommend something that has been proven to work and look good.

You’re just going to have to experiment because the nature of the color is very subjective. I prefer the cool white bulbs which make a fairly true color but considerably brighter. Some like warm white that tones it down some, but has too much green for me. Almost no one likes the blue bulbs. Too blue, and too near the violet range. I have the cool whites in my 2325 and love them.

I think that the warm white leds with replaced vellum is my favorite coloring. It is very close to original. Taking accurate color photos of LEDs is difficult. Here is my best effort at it.

If I’m not mistaken, aaron99 sells a number of parts for Marantz units, including lights, at reasonable prices. Those lights are not very expensive, and not too hard to change. Why don’t you buy a set of cool and a set of warm and see what you like best? With an extra set, you’ll have an incentive to get another Marantz to go with them.

I've got the blue in mine and love them. Runningdog has complete sets for most models in white. Fast delivery and great to work with plus he's an AK member.

I bought the blue ones - not implement it though but based on website -seems to give the best results for Marantz units with blue display

I'll vouch for the Ebay seller , very good product's. I'm not affiliated with him but have bought from him a few times

I didn't know someone was making leds to match yellowed vellum paired with incandescence bulbs.

I ordered from that ebay seller from Bulgaria, after a few conversations with him I got am impression that he really knows his stuff. once I get them installed, will give an update.

That's an interesting concept in an LED bulb. Look forward to seeing your impressions once you get them installed.
