SWL Posted April 26, 2017 Author Share Posted April 26, 2017 Yeah, I really can't remember about the balance control.Sent from my SM-G920R4 using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sent from my SM-G920R4 using Tapatalk Not to inceuate your a bonehead but to be on the safe side I'll add don't think "well why not just remove the output tubes" removing those would cause extremely high voltage condition to the entire amplifier.

SWL Posted April 26, 2017 Author Share Posted April 26, 2017 At this point I'm really not in a hurry to use it as a preamp only. The warm tones of the 222c are really enhanced with the Marantz. The stereo imaging it throws out there is admirable. Addicting might be a better word.Sent from my SM-G920R4 using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NOSValves Posted April 26, 2017 Share Posted April 26, 2017 What is the rest of the history of this 222C? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SWL Posted April 26, 2017 Author Share Posted April 26, 2017 I bought it from another forum member in 2009 that had you restore it in 2006. It has been trouble free and sounding excellent the whole time I've owned it.Sent from my SM-G920R4 using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SWL Posted April 26, 2017 Author Share Posted April 26, 2017 Ah....the balance knob DOES work when using it as an amplifier only. The volume knob does nothing.Sent from my SM-G920R4 using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SWL Posted April 26, 2017 Author Share Posted April 26, 2017 Well if he did what I was thinking he did the balance control would still work. The volume control might have a very minor effect. I just remembered him saying to keep the volume knob at 12:00. I can't remember why or what the reasoning was but my ears can't hear any difference.Sent from my SM-G920R4 using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scott and Fisher Posted October 16, 2020 Share Posted October 16, 2020 Hello SWL - I appreciate your mod on the Scott 222c - may i get the place in Chicago where you had it done? I have a Scott 222c that I want refurbished, it's been awhile since I had it working, bought it out in California a couple of decades ago and remember how surprisingly sweet it sounded (even hooked up to a Cd player 🙂 ) My plan is to use it with in a 2 way active bi-amp setup with the amp / 6bq5 driving the horns and still looking for an amp (probably solid state) driving the bass. Thanks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
