Nice!

They class

Maranta are making far too much money for what they are

Still have a pair of 15s from the 80s and they still rock

good video. i still have my marantz 105 tuner with a beautiful wood case. nothing like a marantz.

Great video. Saying this from a guy in his early 70s who agrees with you on many points. I think spending huge amounts of money to get marginal increases in sound quality is a waste. This is especially true as one gets older and their hearing begins to decline. Secondly I love the Marantz sound and looks. My first receiver was a Knight kit that I assembled since it was the least expensive way to go back in the day. In the late 70s I replaced it with a Technics because it seemed like a good unit for the price at the time. I enjoyed it for over 30 years then bought a modern Yamaha and it sounded too sterile to me. I replaced it with a vintage Marantz that I much prefer. I read that the 2220B and the 2245 were very good receivers so I bought both about 13 years ago to see which I liked better. I ended up selling the 2245 since the 2220B sounded better to me at the relatively low volume that I usually play my music.

I had a MARANTZ preamp, tuner and power amp in 70s the sound was magnificent.

Nope. Not any more.....................Sansui is a better product in all aspects.

People are mad with high prices i love vintage audio but refuse to pay a grand for it

I love my 2238B

I have a Marantz 2325 Receiver, Great unit, i remember these from the 1970s as a teenager

Nice breakdown of your restoration & repair advice, The 4400 is simply massive,My 2275 sits on top of the 4400 & looks like a toy,125 W X 2 Ch & 50 W X 4 Ch rating is laughable, I had my 4400 in a club running 12 spkrs @ copious volume levels without even warming up, like a casual walk of raw power output!

Okay, 60-ish guy here. I too have been involved in the hobby for a long time. My Dad had a high end components system. This doesn’t make me an expert, but I know what I like. For me sound takes first priority. Other consideration are secondary. There is something to be said for new audio and vintage audio. I must say that the esthetics of the vintage receivers beats new audio and robustness of new audio is better than vintage audio. I love Marantz 70’s and early 80’s units. The sound is great along with the esthetics. I also like the fact even some of their middle of the line units had some of the features of the high end models e.g. midrange tone control (I know. Real audiophiles disdain tone controls.) However the price points that Marantz commands, are out of sight and have made the Marantz receivers “status symbols”. I can pay less less money and get sound that is every bit as good if not better than Marantz. I just cannot justify the Marantz status symbol tax. YMMV.

Marantz gear is traded like high end art works in the market place.

Unless you are extremely lucky, you can’t avoid the Marantz tax if you’re a serious buyer of one of these receivers. I bought my first (a 2245) back in 1973 lightly used from my older cousin, and fell hard for that sound that only these vintage (PMS) receivers can put out. But that’s based on my ear only. Newer systems can sound good to others, and there’s nothing wrong with that. I lost my 2245 to a divorce, but was able to score one a few years ago, and have it restored. It’s hooked to a pair of JBL-L166 Horizons, and just sounds incredible, exactly as they did 50+ years ago. Was the price worth it? To me, it was a bargain!

Another 60ish here. I have about twenty 70’s receivers. All different brands from that era, and all different speakers from those years. Higher end…lower end. Receivers, amps, and speakers from later years as well. My stand only cradles my Marantz 2226 lovingly these days. It just looks and sounds like it’s home. Keep on keepin’ on young fella.

How about a review on the Shure SR112 Loudspeakers? Built for PA setups they sound great in a 13 spkr vintage home audio sound system, dual ported construction with 2, 8" massive magnet woofers & 1 horn tweeter with a SPL warning after prolonged usage to your hearing! Required L-pads to blend in the audio to the other 11 spkrs

Wonderful in-depth breakdown from build construction & design to sonic qualities & comparison to modern gear,Purchased in 1975 when I was a teen, 2275, 4400, 6300 & 5030b, still all working, look great though vellum paper needs replacement as dial is green not proper blue & 1-2 bulbs need replacement as well, Huge maintenance on a 50 yr old receiver/s,LOL

SMSL SU-1 DAC is amazing for something less than $100.

Ok, I'm 60ish and have been involved in audio professionally my entire life, I just want to say I agree 100% with you 😁, don't listen to the audio "snobs", the path you're on is the right one, JMHO.

Totally agree about the look of them. Something about watching those needles bouncing so perfectly in analogue on the VU's you just do not get with a strip of led lights.

Nice video. I too like the sound of different amps. I’ve been known to listen to an amp for 6 months and then all the sudden want to change the sound so I switch for 6 months. Then I switch back. Audio hobby is a lot of fun. Thanks for sharing

It's a transmission line

Cool!

Dunlop?😉

Красивый рессивер класс😂😂😂

Did you fix an amplifier

I listen to your other amps and this little thing is probably my favorite.

Do you prefer the Zombie?

Your first time, legend.

sounds rad , sm57?

this guitar have the best neck i have the same model with floyd mod. I really like playing some van halen stuff on it!

What part number for the mounts

hey boss love this car. i also have a 92 camaro with a 305 small block. was looking to see if you know if there is any camms that i can throw on it. please and thank you

Do you have a list of mods or a build thread?

Cam?

Beautiful camaro

She sounds mean….❤

We need more of this! A raw American V8 machine. Torn up seats, chipped paint, tail lights that look like toasters, a chevy with real fog lights.... this is a cherry right here! Sounds good too 👌🏼🔥

Hello there mate, nice demo! I wanted to ask since you have both amps the Modena and the Triple X, which one is more recommended for tight low-end metal galloping and palm muting that doesn't need boosting, I found a Triple X for a very decent price (Around 300$) that thinking to go to another town to pick in few days, yet I found a Modena with its 2x12 Elmwood for sale ((1900$) yet the price is a bit much but I'm talking with the seller but he's not into metal to be able to help with some questions since he also lives in another city than me. I play mainly metal (Rhythm) and very few solos and cleans here and there. I was considering to buy an Engl Blackmore (950$) for how good the amp sounds even when gain maxed it retains clarity and tightness, I can think the Triple X can do the same from some reviews I seen demoing the full gain for the sake of the test...How is the Modena in that kind of test? And if you have more things to say about the amp character and tone, I'd be happy to know further since if I purchased the amp with the cab, I won't be able to test it till the seller ships it to me. And don't wanna feel investing in such price ball-park and then feel the amp is nothing special than my current Randall RG100SC.

Promo-SM 😻

You rock!

Has it been on the Dyno?

Music to us Chevy owners ears!!😡👍😊🗽

i have the jsx with el34 with the same cab but with v30... i want a more marshall type sound... does the creamback does that?

found one for $200 but im offering him $100 due to the ridiculous paint job someone did on it haha

Just picked up one of these for $120. The Tolex is beat, but for the price and construction I couldn't pass. Speakers sound really nice to me!

U.S. Made I played the crap out of a bunch of Vintage Club Crates Got rid of my bunch of Black and Silver face Fenders when I found them Rock On

Never paint the rims black......

Those old amps didnt have master volumes, so they had to be cranked. They were also designed for big stages, not bedroom jamming. Modern amps also have more preamp tubes.
