Marantz 10B NEAR PRISTINE SUPER TUNER

If your one of those folks that has been holding out for a complete and near pristine condition, one owner MARANTZ 10B, This is your opportunity! In addition to being in fabulous cosmetic condition it has also been completely refurbished and aligned! The restoration and upgrades were performed by Avatar Engineering a 40 man hour labor of love, a $2200 service in August 2018, which included all new NOS tubes, all new higher quality electrolytic capacitors throughout. All new polypropylene, polystyrene and teflon film caps which replaced the inferior sounding mylar capacitors. All power diodes were replaced with ultra fast soft recovery rectification. The schottky diodes were replaced with audio grade mil-spec units. Any out of spec. resistors were upgraded to vishay mil-spec .1% ultra quiet precision resistors. Various ceramic pf capacitors were substituted with polystyrene units. We also had the 2 front glass panels replaced with a brand new ones, along with a new Mullard oscilloscope tube. All the switches and potentiometers were cleaned and lubricated. Last week we then drove it to Mike Zuccaro (best 10B tech on the planet!) for an alignment/adjustments and new optocouplers.The cabinet and screen are absolutely pristine and look like they are brand new!( See pictures). As to the sound performance, all I will say is I feel quite comfortable to say it is the best I have ever heard and we have heard them all. Is the Marantz 10B the best tuner ever made? YES! On another note, the Marantz 10b has become one of the 10 most sought after Audio collectables of all time and for good reason it has outperformed the stock market year after year! Don't miss this one, the chances of you finding one in this condition are next to zero. the tuner will be shipped Fedex fully insured in 2 double boxes, one for the tuner and one for the cabinet. We would prefer local pick-up if possibly and will offer a discount to local buyers who do so. Thanks
