Hey guys, quick question about the Marantz 2230. How do you guys thing it would pair with HE-500 and LCD-2? Will the amp make the sound too smooth and slow?
Also, what do you guys think is a fair price for this, especially if the seller is claiming that it was: serviced, had replaced lights, some caps, relays, switches & defuser
Just a rough estimation zone on how much this unit usually goes for and with these possible updates, what the price should be? I am new to the vintage scene and have seen prices for pieces all over the place, so any help would be great.
Also, I currently use the Emotiva Mini-x-a-100 off the speaker taps to run both the planar. Anyone with experience on how the sound might differ between the Emotiva and 2230.
Lastly with speaker taps on Emotiva, I've been using a banana plugs to female XLR adapter that I leaved plugged into the amp, into which I connect the balanced cable for the headphones. I see that these vintage amps didn't have banana plug outputs. Any quick solution on how I could use my current stuff with the Marantz?
