If you don't mind my asking, how much did you pay for it?

 

[Skylab]

$625.  I've seen them go for around $400 in just a little worse shape than this one.  But this one really looks mint, and sounds terrific - not a hint of noise or hum or hiss.  The sound with my Beyer T1's is actually pretty spectacular.  It was a little dark with the D7000 - probably that old impedance mismatch issue.

 

[mralexosborn]

Well...nevermind! Way out of my price range. Enjoy!

 

[CrazyRay]

Worth every penny IMO!!!

Well, my Marantz 2275 came today, and it's everything I had hoped for.  The FM section sounds just AMAZING.  I paid a little extra to get one in mint condition, but I think it was worth it:

That's a really good price. I've seen them in much worst shape go for that price. You always seem to have a tendicy to find some really great deals. That's probably the nicest 2275 I've seen. Congrats!!

Very nice buy, mint conditions are really hard to come buy.  I should bite the bullet and buy a Marantz myself.

 

[Skylab]

Thanks fellas. I was really anxious after buying it, to see what it looked like in person. Fortunately, it exceeded my expectations

 

[moodyrn]

Can't wait to hear how it compares to the fisher, both speaker and headphone out. But I suspect that the headphone out is more powerful. Fisher put in some pretty high value resistors which is why I replaced mine to make the headphone out more powerful.

searching ebay for a Marantz for myself, came across "penninw" a builder of Marantz cabinets for most of the 22xxseries.  Builds out of walnut.  From the picture, looks really nice and may be a good replacement for the metal cabinets of the Marantz line.  Says he also builds cabinets for other brands.  Might be of some interest

holy crap! me personally would never pay over 400 bucks maybe and that's being generous for a marantz receiver. i know it's american made and everything but the prices on these things are going nuts. i probably would spend up to 600 for a nice american made Fisher 500b Tube amp in mint condition with all original parts. i think i stick with the japanese made stuff and Sansui for me but i congradulate you on your purchase and i hope you have fun with it for many years to come. thing i do like about some marantz is they built them very well with heavy steel and real wood. not that simulated vaneer stuff that some receivers used back in the day.

I have an integrated Sansui AU-777 (the first solid state Sansui amp after they moved from tubes)--it definitely has that "vintage sound." While we're on vintage gear, I picked up a cheap ($35) 6v6 headphone amp on ebay a while back and it sounded great with a vintage lush sound and a huge transformer, but not nearly as refined as a more modern amp.

sansui au-777 is a great amp but i don't get what you  mean by ''vintage sound''. i know it's your personal experience and your opinion and i respect that. just curious what ''vintage sound'' means? i heard lot of vintage amps and receivers and never once experience a ''vintage sound'' it either was accurate reproduction or ''warm'' like tube sound(not saying all tubes sound warm tho). sorry if it seems like i'm being a douche. it's hard to understand emotion through text. i just sometimes don't understand and would love to hear others interpretation of ''sound'' as a learning experience.

The headphone out of my Marantz 2265b is extremely warm sounding. Any other Marantz owners notice this?

My Marantz 2275 "woody" has that "vintage sound".

Paid $250 for it last year.
Cosmetically perfect, it did need the controls cleaned and new bulbs.
