Marantz Model 3200 and Marantz model 140

The Marantz model 3200 and Marantz model 140 are good sounding but above all very sweet looking small size. In fact there are not many suitable turntables what can fit this size, a dual 1228 can fits exactly when the plinth sticks out only 1cm. Not sure which other vintage turntables will fit, I don't know of any Marantz turntable with that size, probably there are more which can fit in a plinth from 35.3 cm wide. Even a lenco B52 ore Philips 212 are wider

They are a whole bunch of them around I got mine at a yard sale when I was a kid I remember plug in my CD player into it plus I had a cassette deck and I had a reel-to-reel

I have the 3200 but not the power amp,will the 3200 work by itself?im new to this🤷‍♂️

You put any model of vintage stereo in front of a women, and she will almost always choose the 1977 era Marantz...less if you change the bulbs to led...

I also had this preamplifier 25 years ago. My best friend still has it at work today 👍👍👍

[@phatjbl]

Preamplifier with a midrange control. Love it. I like it and the 1150.

Does that blue display , is the original display or it was serviced? if so, what is the original color of the display do you know?

[@vintagestereo]

no this is original white led bulbs

Great video. Thanks! I have had a mint Marantz 3200 for a decade now at least. It is enclosed in an aftermarket walnut veneer case and powers a Bryston 3B thence into vintage B&W DM 603’s. Sounds absolutely delightful for what was; at the time a very modest investment in Canadian dollars.

vintage is just the best but many thinks that new stuf is always better

[@wielentschoten575]

Beautifull sound. Very straightforward!

[@rouarr1]

it always make me laugh when someone makes nice comment on the sound of an equipment by listening through youtube channel and a camera's microphone and unknown speakers ....I can assure anyway that those elements are GREAT, try to listen ti them you will be convinced. Mint units BTW !

Ja tot een paar jaar terug was vintage altijd een geweldige manier om goedkoop aan erg goed geluid te komen. Tegenwoordig is vintage een hipstermagneet...

[@briang.9817]

I love Marantz gear! I have a mid-range Marantz receiver that finally went out after 40 years of service. Thanks for the video sir!

Hello, I don't understand why this set is so expensive. The pre-amp is very basic (bottom of the line) the power amp is not very stable on low impedance speakers (4 or 2 ohms) . . .But, people pays the Marantz Tax. You can buy much better equipment for lot less . . . . people is sick with Marantz.

Hey to each there own I'm sure there may be others better that this combo the thing is the prices continue to go up no matter what brand your looking for
