Hey all. I just recently inherited a home theatre audio rig. It consists of:   Marantz SR-96 receiver Marantz DP-870 processor A few power amps, branded as "Bryston" (I'm not sure what model) 4 Vandersteen Model 1's 4 Vandersteen Model 3's   I just wondered if these were...

Hey,   so lately I've been listening with my Marantz 2230B, and recently there has been some crackling in both channels.    What I want to know is this just a result of the receiver lying in the attic for 33 years, or something else?

Okay, another K701 amping thread. I went through the search function but didn't really get the information I needed. Anyway, I'm looking to spend around $200 and want an amp that matches well with my K701.   I'm basically looking for something that plays to one of the K701's main strengths...

I've got a Rotel RP-6400 turntable with an old AT Signet cartridge in it. I want to replace this with a new one. In another thread, I was recommended the Nagaoka MP-11 to use, because it would match well with my Harman Kardon 930 and Marantz 2230 receivers. I actually won't be using the Marantz...

Well I use my Marantz SR4400 to Drive my bookshelf Speakers and I plug my headphones (Dt 770 Pro) into the Headphone jack. So is my Marantz a headphone Amp as well?

I know it is cliche, but help me please?   I've got a situation here.  I thought I was knowledgeable about this stuff.  But a few minutes here on Head-Fi and all my thoughts got jumbled.   So I recently got all these phones: M50, AD700, and MS1.  Low impedance: 38, 32 and 32 ohms...

Hi all.  a little story just so you can understand my situation... I am using my marantz cd player as a transport for a  very long time and i am very satisfied with it.   because i was curious and tempted by all the pros of computer audio i decided to try using the usb out to my dac.  at first...

  As a student, I have this problem. I want to try new headphones. I can't go to meets because I can't drive. I can't just go off buying new headphones because they're expensive. So I read reviews. The headphones other people use seem like they make some HEAVENLY sound!! Now I want new...
