marantz

Hello, my 21 year old Marantz cd player is starting to behave funny: some disks won't play, the tray door won't open half the time. I though that maybe it's time to look for a replacement. And that is where things got a bit complicated. First I thought of using a cheap DVD player as a...

I have an immaculate condition Denon x3700 receiver for sale for $995. I bought based on all the fantastic reviews it received on websites like audiosciencereview and others. The reviews said it had low distortion and was very clear. I 100% agree. It is two years old. I babied it as it was the...

This thread is the follow up of a discussion started by myself in a thread about different speaker cables lengths because I wanted to know if that could be the case, in my ignorance. I don't want to keep polluting that thread so I start this one. The last intervention by @restorer-john, which...

hi, I have a Marantz SR6014 and Martin Logan ESL combo, using the Logan as front LR speakers. I stream with TIdal Hi-Fi I wanted to be able to hear the Pure Direct because of the great soundstages with great DEPTH; aka you can hear the front and back of singer and instruments. While, the...

According to Marantz, "All units with the serial # ending in 70001 or higher have the TI DAC [most likely the PCM1502A DAC found in the Denon AVRs]. The only exception is the AV8805A pre-pro. That now uses a DAC made by ESS". I hope this helps new AVR customers decide if they still want to buy a...

Hello, I recently upgrade my HT setup and moved my old equipment into a computer / game room. After setting everything up I am getting very low amts of bass output from the sub that use to be my main sub for 3 years (and was very happy how it performed) My subwoofer (monoprice monolith 10")...

Hi everybody, This is a thread about Raspberry pi dacs and digital connections. I'm moving to a new amplifier and the Marantz PM6006 seems to fit perfectly my budget. My current source is a Raspberry Pi 3B+ with a DACBerry One+HAT (https://www.osaelectronics.com/product/dacberry-one-plus/)...

Hello, I've been reading for quite some time all the threads I can find about how to do a decent but affordable 2.1 or (ideally) 2.2 setup for music. Source is a Windows tablet running Foobar2000 + EqualizerAPO through a Meizu Hifi Pro dongle - prefer this to previous setup of Chromecast Audio...

Hi, I just got the new Node and connected it via L/R RCA to the Marantz SR6015. To get the highest sound ROI should I be using L/R RCA to the Marantz or Digital Coax or Optical? I read in another forum some recommending out from Node to the L/R pre-amp on the Marantz and sub out to pre-amp too...

So I have the chance to buy a marantz 7705 preprocessor for $1300 to upgrade from my current denon 3400 which is showing it’s age a bit. I know that Amir said that the 7705 is all but absolute garbage, but in real world use, is it? I’ll have it running a 7.2.4 system in a 15X13X8 room. I have 2...

I have an older Marantz SR7002 which has Audyssey Multi EQ built in. Using the generic mic and auto calculated filters and then comparing it with REW and my UMIK-1 it gives me horrendous corrections in areas that certainly do not need correction. It looks like this is quite an old version of...

Hello friends, after years of faithful service, my Arcam started loosing its edge and the time of upgrade has come. I am looking for something that can be considered an end-game unit and higher-end Marantz models are on my radar for quite a bit. I am pleased with their sound and the look alike...

Hi ya'll, This is a cry for help... I've been wasting so many hours on reading, comparing and going absolutely all over the place picking up audio equipment... Being an engineer and a nerd sure doesn't help :( Also being a business owner and spending so much time on this instead of actually...

I have a Marantz SR7002 receiver that I connect via a semi long 10ft HDMI to my laptop which runs Tidal in "Exclusive mode" for two channel listening. I am just wondering what people think would be the 'weak link' in my setup (I have high sensitivity DIY speakers and two DIY subs set up very...

Hi all, I have now owned 3 Denon / Marantz receivers with HEOS (3500, 3600, and SR6012). I always discounted it as a solution for the lazy or as a Sonos replacement, never thinking it was up to snuff for my “serious” (lol) listening practices. I previously used a Chromecast Audio into a DAC...

Hey Guys! First of all. I really love this forum content. So, I am looking for a new AVR to replace my old's NR1506 that I bought 4 years ago. I am interested in the new 8k Denon/Marantz lineup but I would like to hear from you guys. What's your recommendation? Denon X3700H or Marantz SR6015...

I have an LG C9 OLED TV with KEF Q-750 towers, Q-650 center, Q150 rears, KUBE12 sub, and Onkyo410 Atmos. I plan on adding maybe 2 more 150 side speakers. I've borrowed my brothers Yamaha RXV579 last 2 months waiting for a receiver with HDMI 2.1 - anticipating PS5. Usage: 50% movies/sports...

Marantz SA7001 CD/SACD player Marantz SA7001 is a nicely built unit of the year 2006 that was capable to play CD and SACD discs. As now, it only plays CD discs for me, so it is only tested as a CD player. Photos of the front and rear view SA7001 has detachable 2-pin IEC mains cord Photos...
