i have a marantz 1070 from 77 to 79. it sounds better than most. it is nice. have a mac 1900- sounds nice, looks good, but not sound quite as good as marantz. soon i am going to sell the vintage stuff and get new- will get new marantz integrated, or receiver, and marantz cd player. sounds is always nice, and these are reliable. anyone can tear something up in no time. i just take care of things.
Marantz reliability?
Im looking to replace my high end pre-amp with a receiver. My Proceed AVP pre-amp shot craps a month ago and its about 8 yrs old with no HDMI capabilities. Im looking to a mid level priced A/V reciever and have decided on the Sr6004. I found one review on amazon and the user says he has had 4 catastrophic failures and had 4 replacements units.
I know this doesn't tell the whole story and he may be running too low impedance speakers or some other issue, but I inferred that he seems to be knowledgeable in Hi-Fi. Has anyone had similar experiences with the sr6004? Its a new updated model from the sr6003, which I couldn't find any similar problems reported. Is there a design flaw with the new unit that I should rethink my decision? KennyT responded to an earlier post of mine saying he has this model. Kenny, did you have any issues with yours or hear of any other examples of problems with this piece?
