How well does the Marantz 2230 compare to a Kenwood KR-6050; Old-school shoot out!!!

Hi, Really enjoyed this video. How about a Technics against the Marantz?

[@kappandrew1]

Stay tuned… got a darn good one coming up!

The Sony AV-880 (1986) is a departure from the pretty knobs and toggle switches. The VFD, an FM spectrum display, a GREEN push button, 100 + WPC, front panel inputs, and an MC/MM phono stage should keep my brother happy - I gave him the unit.

Dude!!!! You nailed it! Literally have the brother and sister of that queued up!

@@kappandrew1 I could have trained my lazy cat (Fritz) to run the machine (no knobs). Oh,well what the hell - just subbed.

Great video. What about a Mac 1900 vs the Marantz?

[@kappandrew1]

That’s a good idea!!! I need to find one now!

[@Surco69]

Hello there. Try Sansui 881 vs Marantz .. cheers from North Baja México

[@kappandrew1]

Trying to source one now… I’ve got a 2000x and 5000x. One of those may have to do. 🫤

I think what beats the Marantz hands down is the TWIN power HK series. 430 and 730. Great sound. POWERFUL low end, good separation-way more power than their power rating. Clean and satisfying. And way CHEAPER! Plus? People LOVE these with Klipsch speakers because the sound so tube-like. Want a great cheap vintage system? A pair of Dynaco A25s and an HK 430 Add a vintage TT of your choice.

Brother… I’m honest I goodness filming the HK 430 and the Marantz next. Listened to them together yesterday. Stay tuned! Oh, on the dynaco… you’re the third person this week to mention them. I need to get a pair again. It’s been a few years. Thanks for the comment!!!!!
