Marantz 10B FM Tube Tuner Demonstration & Bandscan (high quality audio)

Video was captured using a regular digital camera. The audio, however, was recorded separately and taken directly from the tuner's output. It was encoded to PCM 44.1 kHz /16 bits resolution.

Both audio and video where synchronized in post production with intro and ending effects added.

This is, I believe, the closest you can get to operating a classic Marantz 10B in real life.

Sounds to good to be true, would you ever swap this for Magnum Dynalab's latest and greatest ?

[crooner2007]

@S0lidState It's true! And I don't think I would replace it with anything else. Thanks for your comment!

Epale pana! Lastima que no se oye la mega jejeje, saludos!

[crooner2007]

@fafabinladen asi es Panita! jajaja me acuerdo cuando salio la Mega al aire en 1988. Que tiempos aquellos! Antes de la mega en Caracas lo unico que existia era 97.7 La Emisora Cultural De Caracas fundada en 1975.

This is one of the best videos on YouTube, by far, in any category.

Thank you very much!

@crooner2007 Sabes? al decirme tu eso me respondes la pregunta de porqué es tan dificil conseguir buenos sintonizadores de radio en Venezuela, tuve la suerte de conseguir un sony ST-A7B que solo es para FM y la verdad imagino que se uso muy poco... Saludos!

Yes, I go by the moniker "crooner" at Audio Asylum.

Great deal on that 10B!

[teslagene]

I too, have a 10b. I also live in San Diego county, in Vista. The sound of the 10b is so nice, and clean, it makes my Sansui TU 717 look sick. Are you a member of audio asylum? Oh, I bought my 10b about 1980 for the princely sum of $25.

i was on another account (was on a friends without realizing lol) when i said that. The only problem i had with it was the fact that there is no good stations in NJ and the Aux input only gets the right channel sometimes and so I have to turn the selector from and back to it to get the left channel (Which is why I am now using Tape Monitor 1 as my input for my PC). My PC can output 192khz analogue audio with an excellent SNR but i can only find CD quality music on-line.
