Marantz Serial Number Lookup
Manual Library / Marantz
Marantz, for the most part, used custom part numbers and so matching transistors is really a problem. If the part is a resistor or a capacitor, then you should be able to read the value off the part, and work from there - most any electronics manufacturer should be able to help once you know the specifications for the part you need. Marantz Serial Number Lookup - internetwestern Dec 23, 2018 - Those TV and home theater product model numbers aren't just random. Marantz has simpler model numbers that don't provide a lot of detail. The Marantz 2285B Stereo Receiver is the highest-end, highest-power model in the 22xx range with exceptional build and sound quality. On these pages, you'll find a great deal of information, as well as images for Marantz Receivers, Tuners, Amplifiers, Preamplifiers, Consoles, Integrated Amplifiers, Turntables and Tape Decks. Please surf around the site and check everything out, particularly the FAQ and the Tips and Tricks pages, which contain all kinds of little nuggets of. I didn't realize Marantz sold only through authorized on-line dealers. After contacting Marantz with my serial number i found my AVR was fully covered and fully warranted. I have had Marantz in the past and never had a problem and my new 8002 is awesome. Again very sorry for the problems you are having; hope this time resolves it permanently!
Stereo Integrated Amplifier (1971-78)
Description
The Marantz 1060 is a stereo console amplifier featuring three line inputs, one phono input and a tape loop.
The amplifier section is split into pre and power sections which can split for use with an external processor.
The unit has two sets of switchable sockets for main/remote speakers.
Specifications
That site gives the overall years produced for a unit, like '71-'76, but I want, if possible, the month and year of the specific units I have. From the serial number on my vintage Pioneer, I can tell it was made in May of '75, for instance. Just wondering if there's a similar procedure for Marantz's.

Incredible ! Very impressive sound hooked up to some yamaha midrange speackers (which sound drab hooked up to sonys and pioneers). Of course, upgrading the output coupling caps from 3000uF to 4700uF Nichicon Gold Tunes significantly improved the frequency response. Better, tighter low-end and, strangely enough, a clearer crisper high-end.
The only issue is the power-up THUMP on my speakers. But there is a quick fix to this, apparently.

This amplifier is a real gem. A total piece of history in the Hi-Fi world. Growing up, my Father had one sitting in the garage. As a kid I always thought of it as the basement amp, full of dust and nothing special. After striking an interest in stereos, I was quickly awakened to the special sound that lies within. I use two Jamo 7.5 floorstanding speakers built in the 2000s which are 4Ohms and really crave power. I use the Marantz as a pre-amp, connected to another Kenwood KA-791 Integrated amp. The Kenwood is a bareboned amp but does exactly what it needs to do, power the speakers at 120 Wpc @ 8ohms it pumps my Jamos and my Marantz does the tuning. I'm an audiophile but i'm also a college student therefore I don't have the capital to go DEEP.
The Marantz is now merely finished with it's second College experience. I use it daily and constantly find myself blown away at the simplicity and sonic power introduced by the Marantz. If you come across one, snag it! Note: I only rated 8/10 because the Amp is vintage and doesn't compete with modern systems available on the market today.

Amazing amp. Mine is 40 y.o. and keeps on performing flawlessly. Pots and switches operate without any noises, with the exception of the volume button which does some scratching noise after the amp hasn't been used for some days, but easily fixed after some rotation cycles.
Bought used, there were some popping noises which were eliminated by replacing the input transistors of the power amps. Sound is sweet, bass is powerful, mids are clean and highs are extended, even though bandwidth is limited at 50kHz. Used with DIY loudspeakers (peerless/vifa), always amaze visitors with it's effortless program rendition (with good quality recordings, of course). Also, plenty of connections and flexibility. If you find one for sale, go for it and have the experience, I promise you won't regret it.

Just a note on this 1060 model.
The output stage is capacitor couped, this itself is not really a problem but I trashed a pair of headphones by powering on the amp with them plugged into the amp.
There is a high DC offset as the capacitors charge, with speakers connected this charge rapidly diminishes, but headphones have high impedance and can cause damage.
Sound wise I thought mine always sounded to soft and lacking any dynamics. Uses a single rail supply as apposed to a twin supply found in better amplifiers, hence the need of the decoupling at the speakers.
Recapping would probably give a good sonic improvement, and there there is no speaker protection system on this amp as a shorted output transistor would never pass DC to the speakers unless the output cap was shorted.

Mid could be better. Is sometimes lacking.

Work great as a headphone amplifier, which is what I use it for at the moment..
It has plenty of power to run even the most powerhungry headphones. Its cheap and it just keeps on going.
Great cheap goodlooking amp
