Marantz 10b Tuner
Author Last Post

David, Thank you for relaying the sad story of your friends Marantz 10b loss to fire. This coveted piece of gear is one of the most sought after components music lovers and audiophiles seek. Potential buyers should ask ChatGPT of its assessment of this great piece of engineering.

Cheers,

Roger

Roger, I had a good friend who owned one of these. The sound it captured and reproduced was amazing, and the comparison to a Stradivarius is an apt one. When his coastal home burned to the ground, it was not his most expensive possession that he lost, but the one he felt most badly about given the rarity of its ability to rate a 10 on musical reproduction from a radio signal.


Cheers,

This is the Stradivarius of tuners and should only be tuned to KDFC for classical music. My musical taste aside the tuner sounds and plays beautifully, however there is a background hum which may be due to a tube or aerial issue. I am a music guy not a gear-head so this is the best assessment that I can offer. Price $2800
