For sale, Marantz 1060 Integrated amp. This is an amazing piece of stereo equipment from the 80’s. it is very heavy for its size.

Operation:

I connected this amp to my Stereo system speakers, here are my findings.

All controls appear to work normally, no scratchy sound from the pots or switches. Tried some different formats of music(Jazz, rock, pop), I was amazed at the sound of this integrated amp. Warm, with tons of ability to drive my speakers(Monitor Audio Silver 6).

When I turned up the amp to extremely loud volumes the unit did not get hot. One side did clip a couple of times on the very loudest passages of music.(capacitor getting bad?) I separated the Pre-amp from the Amp section and connected the Pre-amp to my Carver Power amp, and the sound was still amazing with no clipping. (The unit definitely will need a re- cap in the future given it’s age(40+ yrs.)

Cosmetically – The face plate is very clean(9 out of 10) with no major marks or scratches that I could find.  The classic ‘blue power light looks awesome! Please view pics. The fuse cover on the back of the unit is missing, so I had to  bypass the fuse to test the amp. One of the knobs on the front (balance) appears larger than the other two, however it looks great. The feet do not appear to be original.

The bypass jumpers(preamp to amp) are missing- simply use a standard rca audio cable.

I used the 1060 as my preamp for about a month and it worked flawlessly connected to my Carver Power Amp.

Given the age of the Marantz, there is to be no presumption of warranty. No guarantee can be given regarding the working condition given the age of the amp. I acquired this amp with full intention to fully restore it.. however  given the work I’m doing with my own stereo set up, I simply don’t have the time to tackle this. (I recently completed a full re-cap of my Carver  pre-amp. ).This was my first experience listening to a Marantz amp, and I understand  now why they are in such demand. Feel free to contact me if you have any questions..  Please note, because of the weight of the unit and shipping costs etc.. I will not accept returns. Thank You for looking at this great integrated amp..

Any international Purchases are the responsibility of the buyer( Extra Duties, fees etc).
