    I did the Arylic up2stream on my Marantz 2285B and ran it to my Tape 2 in the receiver and now I can Bluetooth from any device. What a great idea, followed your info, everything went super smooth. By looking at the receiver you would never know it has Bluetooth. I just received my second Arylic to put it in my Pioneer SX=980.The Marantz is pushing a Pioneer SX-9900 with a pair of McIntosh XR-7 on speaker A and a set of Pioneer HPM-900 on speaker B. Super hard hitting with separation of the highs and the best part, No distortion, Im running the same setup with the SX-980. I love the fact that you can control the stations and the volume right from your phone. Thank you for putting this info up for everyone to see. I highly recommend doing this to your vintage units, Its definitely an upgrade. Thanks Again.

    Very nice. I've always wondered why audio manufacturers haven't hit on the idea of doing limited releases of popular audio stereo receivers from the 1970s - but with certain upgrades like bluetooth/wi-fi/streaming/remote control etc. When one looks on Ebay, and sees the kind of prices that mint vintage gear is selling for, it seems to me that the manufacturers are missing out on an interesting market segment. The 1970s had the coolest receiver aesthetics, and it would be fantastic to be able to buy a new Marantz, Sansui, Pioneer model that looks exactly like the original - with modern audiophile components, and a few upgrades like the one you've created here. Well done, and carry on.

    • @Nugglashine
      @Nugglashine Год назад

      Yes! Yamaha and Technics and JBL are starting to realize this and some of their new releases are like the old school stuff we love. Yamaha has one thats TOTL and has WAY too many features, $8,000 and made in Vietnam or Malaysia. If they made a decent looking one in Japan, it wouldn't even need to have many features. I am fine without a remote and bluetooth or streaming capabilities. People would pay $2,000 all day long. Give me a pre-out and 2 aux in, and mayyyybe a phono in, but that isnt necessary.

      @johnwest7993 7 месяцев назад

      The truly high fidelity gear of the past, (most of what you mentioned isn't,) can't be built today unless the old components themselves can be manufactured again. That would cost billions. And modern 'upgrades' aren't really upgrades. They sound worse. That's precisely why the best old gear sells for so much. Modern gear is designed with a variety of test equipment and computer modeling. The old gear was designed with ears.

      @incredifunk 5 месяцев назад

      You've seen the prices on eBay yet you don't understand why they don't want to re-release those vintage components? I think you answered your own question. Why would they? It would devalue the ones from the past most likely Not only that but it would kinda take the nostalgia from the vintage pieces

    @EersteMinister 2 года назад +3

    TIP: Use the whole tape loop of the receiver and connect the record to the input of the Arylic. This will allow you to control the volume of all sources of the receiver as long as you have the tape monitor activated. just one more wiring…

    For the power supply you could use the Marantz PSU. You add a 7805 regulator and you avoid stuffing that transformer inside the amp.

    I went the lazy route. A FiiO BTA30 Pro (~US$120) from AliExpress, with RX/TX/DAC modes. I also upgraded the antennae for another $12 with a 12dB that is about 13inches in length. The FiiO comes in a machined ALU chassis, so build quality is pretty nice. Has the RCA outputs to connect to the AUX on my vintage receivers (e.g. Yamaha CR-420, Pioneer LX-626, Nakamichi SR-2E with a Nelson Pass-designed amp, Sanyo DCX6000K, and Pioneer SX-82E...with its 21 tubes!). I liked the FiiO so much, I bought another. One for the family room, so that I can stream from the phone to my Pioneer LX-626 (the FiiO in RX mode). The other I have connected to my desktop PC and it operates in DAC mode, straight to the Yamaha or Nakamichi. I have splitters on both of the FiiO's RCA outputs, so that one or the other receiver can be used with ease.
    The nice thing about this BTA30 Pro is that it also allows me to go wireless while in TX mode, should I opt for Bluetooth with my IEM's (e.g. KX AZ09 Pro's BT5.2 earhooks with a set of either the Olina's or Shuoer S12's).

I have an Arylic S10 and a Audioengine B-Fi streamer that do a good job hooked up to the AUX jack.

  • @benkozs
    @benkozs 2 года назад +7

    Whilst practical, it's not a good idea to put an SMPS, a computer and Wi-Fi inside an amplifier like this. Especially that the nowadays common EMI sources were unknown or non-existent when this receiver was designed, making it a lot less protected than a modern appliance.
    The very least should be to use an SMPS in a metal case with proper AC and DC filtering, shielded power cables and a separate shield can to enclose the whole streaming board. Also, the Wi-Fi antenna must be mounted outside the case but even then it will surely still create interferences.
    I'm not saying that this mod shouldn't be done if somebody wants to do it, what I'm saying is that it should be done properly especially on such a fine piece of stereo.

    • @petechongy
      @petechongy 2 года назад +1

      Exactly what I was thinking linear psu and amp design and you stick somet that gives off Rfi and rf inside / a Smps screwed to the rear and the antenna positioning lucky if you got a signal 2 feet away after case is put back on. Terrible idea do not copy this folks.

  • @edferguson1388
    @edferguson1388 2 года назад +4

    I bought a Marantz 2270 off eBay in 2000 for $320 (back when ebay had nice bargains from real people). It was pristine - still had the clear plastic protective cover over the front panel. I just had to replace a few bulbs. Around the same time I bought a Marantz 5220 cassette deck (not to listen to cassettes, but the large blue meters look awesome!) Then I bought a Marantz CD-152 CD player. I think that one is kind of rare because it has the silver-gold front panel that matches the fronts of the other units. Next, I found two Marantz wood cases on ebay that were in great shape. I probably have $900 into this set up, not counting speakers.
    Anyway, the idea of adding streaming is awesome. I don't listen to cassettes or CDs anymore, and FM radio has too many commercials (not like the 70's). My kids wonder why I have this vintage collection - to me these are works of art. I do have Spotify, so your project is on my to-do list and I'm anxious to get that Marantz sound going again!

  • @jwhite4
    @jwhite4 2 года назад +15

    As a demonstration of being able to completely integrate the board and power supply in the receiver, it was very nice (love the stand off that you made). But the antenna inside the metal box (you didn't put the cover back on), that stood out as, "Hmm...".
    What I was also thinking was you had that new audio board with USB and HDMI ports (and maybe other stuff), that's now unavailable, because it's inside the unit. I'd have rather had them outside the receiver, and accessible. Mount it in it's own box, with an external power supply (plugged into the switched outlet), and into the AUX input - and I think you have more functionality, with less work.
    FYI my Dad had a Marantz 2240 receiver. If I knew they were sought after, I would have tried to find a home for it, vs tossing it when my brothers and I emptied his house (something it in wasn't working).

      I own two FiiO BTA30Pro units ($120 ea)...a small, well-built box (ALU chassis) with BT5.2, inputs for USB/RCA/Optical, and Receiver(RX)/Transmitter(TX)/DAC modes. It has excellent CODEC support (LDAC, AptX (HD+LL), AAC, SBC), a discreet Volume control knob, and easy to read indicative LED's to reveal color-coded status & CODEC in use. I spent about $10 for an aftermarket 12dB antennae, just to increase its range throughout the apartment. In the home office, I use this device to bridge (DAC) my PC source (FLAC files, Spotify, RUclips, etc.) with a vintage receiver (current favorite: Hitachi SR-903) and, for the family room, as a receiver to feed streamed content from my phone to a separate vintage receiver (another Hitachi SR-903). When I want wireless freedom, then I switch the home office BTA30Pro to TX mode and pair the device to BT headsets or earhooks (KZ AZ09 Pro's with Shouer S12's or other IEM's).
      This is a clean look and very convenient. No issues over the past year with either BTA30Pro...they work like a charm.
      I also use it with the FiiO app (Android)...an excellent app that allows for fine tuning, EQ, etc.
      This is the most versatile audio device that I own and I highly recommend it on the basis of price/performance/build quality/user experience.

  • @yabreu6141
    @yabreu6141 Год назад +3

    Nice work! It's very nice to have a wifi/bluetooth in the input selector of our vintage receiver. But there is a point that I got a little disappointed, the bluetooth codecs. If you use a receiver like this, you surely care about audio quality, as I've checked on their website, this device has only SBC and AAC. I think it needs some others Hi-Res bluetooth codecs like LDAC, Aptx HD, and adaptive, so it would be much better than already is.

    For an even smaller 5V DC supply you can use an Iphone cube power supply. I used one of those on my Fisher receiver to drive the coil of a 5V relay to replace the broken volume pot power switch with a speaker switch that could not handle mains power or inrush current. Works great! EDIT: Oh, by the way I wrote this before you finished the video. You mentioned the phone charger trick. I agree it could be cosmetically better to use your black charger unless the tiny phone cube can be completely hidden.

Can even connect to an external DAC via optical if you don't like the built-in DAC.

    If you use the Tape input you won't be able to use an EQ with it. One of the best features of a receiver with "tape monitor".

The load is always there even if the source is quiet. 😊😊

    You can connect the 4 wire ribon cable to the output of your Arylic Up2Stream Pro and the input of your receiver by cutting it in half and use it instead of a jack cable.
    You will then have two 4 pin plugs so you can use one for input an the other for output.

    I have done a few similar modifications, often using the amplifiers own internal 5V rails. A cheaper option it to use a Raspberry PI W, with a DAC, with audio server software. Many of these allow for synced audio around the house. I would certainly move the boards antennas to outside the case, A) to improve reception, but as they are transmitting as well as receiving they may induce noise.

    Did wifi and bluetooth still work with the lid on ? Thanks for sharing your work.

    nice, one caution, the power supply appears to be a switcher, creating 100 mV of noise, this may impact the radio or phono performance.

    Sweet upgrade. I may have to consider doing this.. It would have been nice if you had given the price, said where to get it and how long the installation took.

    And, by connecting to the RCA Tape Input inside the chassis, you still have the Tape Input available for a Tape deck.

    Why did you choose not to go through the preamp? I'm asking because I have seperate units, pre amp and power amp, so deciding on where to install my own solution.

    Can you connect a modern receiver with Bluetooth and connect it to the marantz, making the modern receiver a preamp?

    Did you tin the wires on that power supply ? Does that tape input have a tape loop ?

    Enjoyed this how to video. Is there a reason you couldn’t just look for a 5vdc tap somewhere in the Receiver so there wouldn’t be a need for the AC to DC converter?

      Thanks! I considered this, but if 5v exists in this particular receiver, it's probably coming off of a transistor in a circuit, not the power supply. To tap right into that would probably affect the circuit in a bad way. I was also concerned about noise, and I knew a standalone supply would be the best option in this regard.

    So why when you switch to Aux input, are you grounding out the Tape 1 inputs that you connected the Arylic left and right outputs to?

  • @brandendeysel6506
    @brandendeysel6506 Год назад

    What happens if you connect an audio component to the RCA connectors of the input which you soldered the output of the Arylic Up2Stream Pro to?

    Bought a sansui 551 at garage sale. Dirty put it on marketplace for $50 sold few days. Sell as is never plugged it in. Sold as is you plug it in. A number of people wanted me to plug it in. I suppose if it let the smoke out they would not want it

    Have your tried A.M. radio after you installed it? Does it wreck am reception? I’m doing a similar thing on an AM radio and I used a phone charger for the ac to 5v dc power supply. If my board is out of the set it, it plays ok if I put it under the chassis, it wrecks am reception. Curious if the power supply you used is cleaner or if anyone has used a power supply on an AM set?

    i still use one of those old weller solders as well, i think its the same one too. anyway how does it compare to that newer one you have?
    Does the up sound better then and external one? other then the clean look, is there any other reason to get one?
