@akla  Infatti... te la saresti presa in saccoccia per niente.

Ma la linea più bella della Marantz è quella che sfoggia questo Nineteen.

 

MARANTZ / MODEL 19

 

 

Marantz Model 19

February 8, 2013

You’ll find quite a few people that will tell you that the Marantz Model Nineteen is one of the best receivers ever made. It would be hard to argue with them given that each receiver was hand built and calibrated by Marantz technicians hence the “Custom Calibrated” badge on the front panel. It’s said that even the WC-9 wood cases were hand rubbed. It was introduced in 1970 and retailed for about $1000.00 which was bumped up to $1200.00 about a year later. Marantz knew that price was not in the budget of most receiver buyers at the time and basically said so in their advertising. One ad stated, “It is strictly for music lovers whose demand for sound fidelity is beyond the pale of the average listener”.

The Model Nineteen has some of the classic Marantz styling features including the gyro-touch tuning wheel and blue tuning dial face that became a mainstay of later Marantz receivers. Some of the receivers also have a champagne colored faceplate.

The Model 19 puts out 50 watts per channel and has a very good FM tuning section and pre-amp. As you can see below it also features a built in oscilloscope that acts as a tuning meter for precision station tuning.

I believe both the Model Eighteen and Model Nineteen were made by Marantz after their sale to Superscope but they were also both designed by Saul Marantz and Sid Smith. Its solid state design incorporated a number of advancements. The tuning circuit is very similar to the Marantz 20B and it has a full complementary output stage which was ahead of its time.

I vecchi Marantz sono tutti bellissimi, poi ovviamente le prestazioni e la qualità cambiano da modello a modello, ma a livello estetico sono fantastici.

@oscilloscopio sommessamente aggiungo che il contrasto cromatico tra il case in noce e il pannello frontale color Champagne è molto raffinato.

Non ho mai apprezzato i frontali della serie successiva in finitura argentea con riquadri in plastica nera ( vedi 1040/1070/3800)

@paolosances a me piacciono anche quelli, ma le serie precedenti sono strepitose.

@oscilloscopio vero.. La Cj nei primi modelli Mv 75 si e ispirata
