Marantz 10B Vacuum Tube Tuner (part I)

[luzzie9]

A truly exceptional example. I have had several and none had the selectivity

of your unit. Congrats!

@luzzie9 Unfortunately, I no longer own this example. It is in the hands of a collector in the far east. I had an earlier unit (not as pretty) that had even better selectivity!

Right now I am restoring a very late example (in the 5000 range serial number) and I am hoping it will perform as good as the other two. Fingers crossed!

Crooner.... very very nice...... Can you do one a classical station for 2 or.3 minutes... piece af J.Bach with cello would be great

Am dreaming if ever having a 10B but....

The 7C is amazingly smooth and clean and detailed for its age but the bit of brightness on the topend precluded it as a replacement for my SP6 and I just love the SP6 look. I don't think I've ever heard an *B amp. Love to come over and listen if you were near me.

Ohhh but I love my ARC 6B and D90 too much to sell ! I think they are overall the best sounding audio components i've ever heard and i've heard alot. I used to work for a High-End stereo store in Pittsburgh.

Unfortunately, could not keep both systems. Depreciation on the ARC is higher than on the Marantz, and sadly I hardly have time to listen to a single system!

I agree ARC is top notch. Audio Research is what Marantz would have become if not bought by the Tushinskys, IMO.

wow all of Marantz best tube stuff.

the 10B, 7c and 8B amp.

I only have the 10B.

Thanks!

I actually started with the 10B, and ended up selling my ARC gear to complete the classic Marantz tube system!
