Rick J B Posted September 26, 2014 Share Posted September 26, 2014 I got a wild hair this afternoon and decided to let this old girl sing a bit. I've only had this a few weeks and other than simply powering it up and listening to the radio for 5 minutes I hadn't really done anything with it yet. My plan is to turn Paul loose with it as his schedule allows and get her in ship shape. But I wanted to see what it would sound like with a digital input. So I hooked it up to the little SB-1's and a cheap DVD player and have been enjoying some Steely Dan and Pink Floyd here in the office. Its just sitting on a milk crate in the corner the wife calls the bone yard. But no matter, it sounds good. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rick J B Posted September 26, 2014 Author Share Posted September 26, 2014 (edited) She handles Rush pretty well too. This would actually be pretty good with a better source and a sub to go with the little SB-1's.

jimjimbo Posted September 26, 2014 Share Posted September 26, 2014 In the last year or so, I've been putting together a few vintage receivers to pair with my Heritage speakers. I picked up a Marantz 2230 sweetheart last week and I love it. The old Marantz and Pioneers have a sound like no other. Enjoy!! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Taz Posted September 27, 2014 Share Posted September 27, 2014 I was looking at a Marantz some time back and telling myself I did not need another receiver. Well they turned it on and the "Pretty Blue lights" hooked me. I brought it home. I think it was the 2285B that I gave to my cousin after a trip to the tech to make sure everything worked right. Yea I like the pretty blue lights when the are on a Marantz. Not so much when their in my rearview window though. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
