Marantz Stereo Receivers
My addiction to radios continues. In Washington I had dozens of post war tube radios. I really liked the warm sound but most often they were low powered and lacked good speakers.
I left them all behind and now I’m in the mood for feeding a new related addiction. I recently bought five Bose Wave radios for listening to the Brewers. They are great for talk but lack in music.
Now I’m looking for vintage Marantz receivers. I was familiar with them in the 70’s but could never afford them. The babies are first on my list and I’m looking at both a 2010 and 2015. Maybe someday I’ll own a 2500!

Re: Marantz Stereo Receivers
Marantz were/are definitely top of the line receivers. There is a small store about 1/4 mile from me that specializes in old vinyl and classic old stereo equipment. Hope you find what you're looking for. I recently had my old Sansui linear tracking turntable cleaned up and the belts replaced. I enjoy listening to the large collection of classic vinyl that I have.

Re: Marantz Stereo Receivers
I will curiously see if the local shop has any Marantz. Been a little while since I was in there, but I pass it almost every day on the way to the supermarket.

Re: Marantz Stereo Receivers
This unit is looking really good. Expensive but if you don’t buy it someone else will. Even the junk ones go for $600 to $800 and then it costs another $400 to have them recapped.

I’ve been on a vintage stereo forum and some of the guys are quite knowledgeable.

When I had my shop built, I tipped my contractor friend by giving him a real nice pair of Technic speakers. Wish I had not done that.

I knew someone who had one of those that was a Quadraphonic and there was a local rock station that every hour for fifteen minutes had "the quad quarter" and broadcast in quadraphonic sound . That was an idea that didn't catch on.

My friend had one with a combined fade and balance called a joystick.
