I still have my Marantz 2230, Realistic T-100 tower speakers, and a Garrard SL-95B. All were bought new in the mid 70's and are still working great. There is a special charm and warmth to fully analog that seems to just not be there with fully digital. We're 10-10 on the side.

I love your 2250, it's a real beauty and in great condition. Please take it off that CD player. I am glad to see people having fun with the vintage stuff, if you take care of it, it will last a lifetime and be much better than what they will sell you today, in the same category of course. Also, there is nothing "audiophile" that I have seen here, rather it is great high fidelity audio equipment that sounds great and is more fun to play with than any "audiophile" equipment.

@breakerbroke23 4 года назад

In the Marantz's normal operating location the CD is on the shelf above the Marantz, so technically its is not touching it.:) audiophile means nothing to me, some of the most boring systems Iv ever heard were the megga $ setups. I like to have fun when I listen to music, sometimes I like tons of low end sometimes I like flat and mellow. audiophiles decry tone controls and anything else other than vinyl. Boring! Many years ago my friend (he is not into audio) asked me what are the best speakers you can buy... I answered, the speakers that sound great to YOU. Cheers

I just bought a Sonos Move and Sonos One because of the great reviews on the sound. Comparing it to my HK integrated amp, Mission speakers and a 1991 Technics CD changer the Sonos sound thin.

@repairfreak 4 года назад

Yes, sounds like it should work fine. However I’ve never found any bluetooth receiver to have the fidelity I prefer, esp for a high quality home stereo system. Some people are not nearly as critical of sound quality as I am, so many would be just fine with such a setup.

@MrDegsy69 4 года назад

Mike K i am doing something like this already with a FiiO D3 DAC feeding into a little bear P5 valve pre amp and finally into my Creek CAS 4040 amp. The sounds are quite simply awesome and blow my existing CD player out of the water in terms of volume levels, clarity of detail and stereo imaging and bass. I can now use my Samsung J5 phone as a front end as well to directly stream flac audio into the FiiO D3 with the android market audio player pro app. Have a fiddle with a few aftermarket black boxes like this and you will be smitten. I like yourself have found bluetooth to be a bit thin, lacklustre and anemic sounding. I just use a wired USB OTG connecter straight from my phone into the FiiO D3 coaxial. It also has an optical in option as well which i use with the optical toslink port on my hackintosh computer. I have tried this set up without the little bear P5 pre amp in line feeding the DAC straight into aux on the Creek and it is a much harsher and brittle sound. The tubes on the pre amp add some warmth and colouration without losing focus, detail or bass. I can best describe it as sounding pretty musically descriptive like my old vinyl set up but with a lot more precision. Win, win for me but do use good quality reference digital recordings to get the very best sound out of it.

@repairfreak 4 года назад

MrDegsy69 Sounds like a nice setup, I myself love tube equipment as well. So the FiiO D3 DAC has a bluetooth receiver built in, with all these high quality hardline type inputs as well? Reason why I ask is because the few bluetooth receivers I’ve used have always sound hash and lifeless.

@MrDegsy69 4 года назад

@@repairfreak Mike K The FiiO D3 i have does not have bluetooth built in (i think its 1st generation according to the amazon review in the link) but i cannot vouch for later incarnations? The components i have listed are true bargain basement items apart from the Creek CAS 4040 which is of mid eighties vintage and has just recently been recapped and having it large right here and now in 2020! It really is mindblowing what you can actually achieve with a few bargain basement hifi components. I really don't know what 'Ben Latour' is on about as 'nah' is a rather glib and childlike comment but i would love to see him do better with such little coin? You are absolutely right about bluetooth though. My connection into the FiiO D3 DAC is hard wired through USB OTG into the coaxial and optically via the Toslink optical out as in the case of the hackintosh computer. I have used the little bear pre amp gain control to match the line level to my turntable and i am comparing this to my Linn LP12 playing legacy vinyl from my pre Y2K collection and it sounds pretty good to my ears! Intially i had pretty low expectations for this combo as good hifi has got to be expensive right? It really amazed me just how good these entry level hifi components sounded. The built in phono input stage on my creek amp is already pretty good but fitting a valve pre amp between the aux and DAC for digital sources has definitely inspired me to source an even better valve pre amp. www.amazon.co.uk/FiiO-Taishan-D03K-Digital-Decoder/dp/B009346RSS/ref=mp_s_a_1_1?hvadid=80264380943542&hvbmt=bp&hvdev=m&hvqmt=p&keywords=fiio+d3&qid=1578867588&sr=8-1 www.amazon.com/Little-puffer-Preamp-Preamplifier-amplifier/dp/B00OY1PR9K

I have watched a couple of your videos and appreciate the information you provide. I am setting up a sound system in a man cave and I also DJ on occasion and I am wondering if you have ever set up bluetooth to a stereo from a PC to a stereo with a dedicated music program such as the old Music Match software. I would like to have the stereo in one part of the room and the computer in another like a laptop on a table or desk top computer behind the bar. I would assume that it would work similar to a phones bluetooth correct?

@breakerbroke23 4 года назад

Yes I think your idea would work, not sure how your PCs Bluetooth would work range wise ( so far iam not a fan of windows 10 Bluetooth possessing ) but if you have problems getting a solid performing signal from your PC then maybe try a Miccus RTX2 transmitter(300ft model) and grab audio from a headphone jack on your PC. This is what I do when trying to send BT from my PC to a speaker or my home receiver. Cheers and merry Christmas ...... BB23

@davidjames1684 4 года назад

I don't really see the point of this. If you are using bluetooth to walk around your house and listen to music, then just set the volume control a little higher and be done with it. You won't be switching inputs so what is the point of making them "even"? You could also put a 6dB attenuator in the monitor loop and bypass it when using bluetooth. That should help quiet down that overly loud FM. Attenuators are passive so no external power is required.

No, in so many ways.

@BertGrink 4 года назад

Back in the early 80s, a friend of mine had that exact Marantz receiver, and I remember our amazement over the tuner dial: thanks to a rather heavy flywheel, just a single flick of the dial would make the 'pointer' go all the way from one end to the other, and stop with an audible "clunk".

AND I can play all my own music, well over 100 GB, stored centrally, using 's Remote app. All that said, I have old cars, and those BT receivers are great for playing my music without having to butcher the car by fitting a modern head unit.

No APTX, the fusion is A2DP Bluetooth 3.0. Yes a bit old school but the BT 100 has very good audio and decent range (RX). Back when I did this video this was common. Now in the "real world" head to head comparison from the fusion to the new units that I use, the A2DP does have a good sound through these old receivers and it still blows away the newer and cheaper modern BT units from say wally world and Amazon.

You are correct but does your BT receiver give you the same volume as your other inputs, ie. FM, CD,TV,VCR, more than likely not, this is why I use the pre-amp. Then when listening to BT you dont have to crank up the receivers volume to get good audio. Try listening to BT at any desired level, then without turning the volume down, switch to FM or CD, it will probably blow you out of the house:) Thanks for watching....BB23

@therealchickentender 4 года назад

Nice. Good stuff. I've the 2235B - can't ever part with it. This is the kinda tinkering I used to do 10 years ago when it was all still sorta new. Played with Pi for a long time as well but I've boxed most of it. A while back I bought a Bluesound Node 2i and threw that in the mix and it does everything I need it to in a tidy little box. Never will take the Marantz out of the mix though.

Nice Receiver you have there. Keep that unit as long as you can. Great comment..... Cheers.

@@breakerbroke23 For sure - I intend to. I just priced them a day or two and it's bananas how they've inflated. All the good 70s ones really. Spent 2 decades with my dad's bought-new-in-late-'72 Pioneer SX-727. Regret letting that one go (back around 05 to fund playing with quads I'd always wanted much earlier but couldn't afford) but always loved that Pioneer. The Marantz is a bit better but similar. Anyhow. Cheers back to you ya. Cool channel. :)

The PHONO channel has a built in boost on most amps, it would have fixed this lack of "punch" issue easier.

@breakerbroke23 2 года назад

phono in is not only” boosted “ it has RIAA equalization so it will not work as any kind pre in other than phono.

@@breakerbroke23 I've used many amp where the phono channel will boost anything you plug into it to the point of blowing your speakers with ease. Depends on the amp I guess.

All modern amps (from early 50s ish) that have phono in will have RIAA eq. So no other devices plugged into phono will sound correct.

I found this very informative. However I was curious did you try the phono input which is a very low level. Another words not using anything but your Bluetooth through the phone input. I hope you give this a try and give us another report.

@breakerbroke23 4 года назад

In simple terms......... You can not use phono input. is is designed to be ultra sensitive so it can pick up signal from the cartridge, phono in also has RIAA equalization (look it up) so your signal will not sound right.

@BarryMcKee3906 4 года назад

@@breakerbroke23 I agree. I DID try the phono input and my amp went into PROTECT mode. Thank God it had a Protect mode. Really dumb of me to try that solution....

@robertcartier5088 5 лет назад

You are both right! But it is important to crimp first, and solder second if you choose to do both*. If you solder first, then crimp a soldered joint, it will get loose. Think of the solder as a very, very thick liquid... over time, it will flow enough so that the joint is weakened. *Why do both? Crimp for strength, solder for electrical integrity.

Full Retro System I use an audioengine b1 Bluetooth 5.0 and feed a rebuilt 1975 Marantz 1060 (30w per ch) to drive four 1975 KEF 104s on a large mantel piece because it’s the only place to put them. Total price for all equipment on ebay would be about $1,500 or less. I have seen the KEFs elsewhere for as little as $300 a set. I bought one set of KEFs in 1975 because they were the speakers I liked best in all the DC area. That includes Klipschorns. I think the KEFs retailed for $500 each which was a month's take home pay each. I bought the other set (104ab) on ebay from Australia for total about $600. The Marantz accommodates two sets of speakers and also includes click-stop bass, mid and treble knobs. I set mine at plus one, minus two, and minus one. Plus some room baffles. PS: My KEFs have never been recapped and I doubt the ones from Australia were either. I have had them for 15 years myself.

@breakerbroke23 4 года назад

The 1060 is a nice sounding amplifier, there is a Pioneer 30wpc Amp that is an almost exact clone (circuit design wise) to the 1060, wish I could remember the model number. I have listened to some KEF speakers many years ago, they sounded very good, not sure what model they were. CRS:) Great comment. Cheers

Yes the BT receivers will plug into your amplifier/ pre-amp through the AUX, Tape, CD inputs. This is a old video and the new version devices do NOT need this pre-amp. You can check out my favorite devices on this video ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-ZtzxRSkFTvY.html these units will just plug in VIA RCAs and will have proper output... Cheers

@breakerbroke23 4 года назад

You need to clean the volume control. I use DeOxit, you spray into the vol control pot from the rear. You need to gain access by taking apart the stereo. I will make a video on this subject by weeks end. Stay tuned. (I was going to do this video last wk but work kept me busy)

Could be defective product, Your receiver may not like to much gain so I would try a lower setting, ( or try another input...not Phono ) are you getting a clean signal from the BT unit, try a different cable, open up the PAC and see if the ground loop wire has been cut. Check these things before sending back.
