The 20B is most positively the best-sounding Marantz tuner, beating the 2130, 150, 125, [Esotec] ST-7 and ST-8, and even the 10B in the amount of bottom end." The 20B usually sells for $400 or more on eBay with a working oscilloscope.

Sep 16, 2001 · I am usually listen to rock , but I find my self mezmerized when I hear classical music on the 10B, the instruments sound so real and beautiful. I own many high end tuners but none have the musicality of the 10B .

Mar 17, 2010 · I have a Sansui TU-717 tuner and love the sound. However, I love the look and build of the classic Marantz stuff. Some of their older tuners, with scope...

For the truly adventurous, there's the Marantz 10B, a beacon of musicality and quiet that has rarely been equaled. Maybe next year, your new digital tuner will come with a satellite dish and we'll have perfect sound forever.

Dec 7, 2006 · There's an intersting story behind the 10B. At that time, the Fisher FM-1000 was the best FM Multiplex tuner in the world. A fact that made Saul Marantz just nuts. He launched a project to build the world's best, cost-no-object FM tuner, and the result was the 10B, truly an engineering masterpiece.

May 10, 2012 · Can anyone suggest what model Marantz Tuners sold at the same time as the Marantz 1250 amp. Trying to find a match for the 1250 setup. Thanks!

Widely considered to be one of the holy grails of tube tuners, this spectacularly clean example makes this 10b potentially a once in a lifetime find. Original box, manual & warranty certificate included.

Before declaring the Marantz 10B as the best SuperTuner to own -- it's worth noting that there are many many really excellent tuners out there - - they just don't quite make it to the very top.

The Model 10b uses gapped pot cores cores for the IF stage inductors. Marantz found that the the toroid cores used in the model 10 were becoming magnetized on the production line due to the use of Weller soldering equipment (these use a temperature-sensitive magnetic tip to control the applied heat energy.)
