The Sound of Marantz

"The Sound of Marantz is the compelling warmth of a Stradivarius. It is a dancing flute, a haughty bassoon and the plaintive call of a lone French horn. The Sound of Marantz is the sound of beauty, and Marantz equipment is designed to bring you the subtle joy of its delight. Wonderful adventures in sound await you when you discover that the Sound of Marantz is the sound of music at its very best."

During my 20+ years of repairing, manufacturing, engineering, aligning and modifying consumer and professional audio/video electronic equipment, I began seeing the quality of new devices drop tremendously. 'They just don't build 'em like they used to' was becomming more and more true. Every year the products were weaker, cheaper, and wouldn't last as long as the previous year's gear. I started to realize that we needed to keep our older stuff running or it would be gone for good! Having owned and listened to Marantz receivers since the 70's, and repairing them since the 80's, I felt that there needed to be a site where hobbyists and audiophilles alike could find information on keeping these aging receivers running. Since most of the problems in these great beasts arise from the age of the electrolytic capacitors and stressed solder, and since parts replacements are readily available at nominal costs, restorations of these receivers are actually quite practical. I was so amazed at the improvement in sound after performing several restorations on my own Marantz gear, it became clear to me that others HAD to hear their Marantz gear this way, too. I still feel that buying another 30 years from my Marantz gear is better than investing in most of what is being offered today. This site was born on a Sunday while repairing my own 2235B that had bad caps in the speaker protection circuit.
