Marantz

There should be an easy way to fix this.

Back in the day, you used to carry something called a Marantz around where you'd put the microphone close to the person and you'd have the ability to have really good audio.

They're not even trying to put the microphone near him and they should.

And they should tell him, Mr.

So she was really into broadcast.

She had a Marantz, so we would record things on tape.

And I think those were the kind of early formative moments for me when sound honestly was the most important form of information dissemination for me.

I didn't get that kind of visual, that visual influence till a lot later, maybe in my mid-teens when I started watching films and movies on my laptop.

I flew to Nebraska with them, learned how to use this machine, learned how to do the interviews, showed up at the rink because I retired.

I got a Marantz recorder and I'm in the rink.

We just traded for Chelly.

We got Dirk Green.

Mm-hmm.

Co- covering all the new CD players from Marantz, and FiiO, and Shanling, and NAD.

So it's m- um, like, esoteric.

I mean, it, and, and it's weird.

... you know, like, all separate.

Like, so say, like, a Marantz equalizer, then, like, a Sony or a Technics, uh-

Oh, hey.

Yeah, yeah, yeah

Like, it's crazy.

My folks have some shit like that, too, like tuners, like a Marantz tuner.

Well, it's got to be an American thing.

That's, like, from the 60s.

We're like, okay, if people are coming here to spin, we need a system that is hardwired.

And we already have a really nice hi-fi system in LA, thanks to Marantz and Bowers and Wilkins.

And as we were designing the space, we're like, it would be nice to actually have a turntable setup where people can mix here.

And that's built into our front system.

I'm bringing it back.

Do you also want a Marantz with a cassette tape? To record things? What the hell is a Marantz? Oh, my God.

I don't know what she's talking about.

You

guys don't know what a Marantz is? I would

like a little flip.

Alan.

A little flip notebook that I could just jot notes down on.

So the receivers are the things that, like, you actually connect to the speakers and that play the music.

Um, and if you can get stuff from the '70s, specifically looking at, uh, the ones that have the silver face and, like, wood paneling on the sides, like a wood box with the silver on the face, and if you can find old '70s Pioneer or Marantz, you are gonna be killing it, especially, like, the Marantz stuff.

If you find Marantz, even if they are for parts only.

I've seen several Marantz pieces selling recently.

Um, like I, I, I looked at one, uh, Marantz, uh, 22 One B.

It sold for $400 and it was for parts, right? So if you can get a working one, we're talking some of these early '70s Marantz are coming in at ...

close to $2,000.

Now, are you gonna find these every single time? No.
