Description
The Marantz 1060 is a stereo console amplifier featuring three line inputs, one phono input and a tape loop.
The amplifier section is split into pre and power sections which can split for use with an external processor.
The unit has two sets of switchable sockets for main/remote speakers. Download dll files fixer free full version.
Such upgrades must be performed by Marantz factory service. Because such upgrades require specific parts, these upgrades are only offered while supplies last.

Specifications
All of my home entertainment equipment has the make/model number on the front panel of the unit. 2 Sony CD players, 1 Marantz CD player, 1 Sony ES receiver, 1 Panasonic BD player, 1 Sony DVD player, 3 Mitsubishi VCRs, 1 Sony VCR, 1 Cisco DVR, 1 Uniden satellite receiver, 1 STS satellite receiver, Samsung computer monitor, 1 Brother laser printer. A basic thing to understand with vintage Marantz receivers is: as the numbers get bigger, so too does the power and the feature set. You can find just about any model after a short google search. Often the difference between the two models is far less important than the difference between the condition of two specific examples, so keep that in.

Incredible ! Very impressive sound hooked up to some yamaha midrange speackers (which sound drab hooked up to sonys and pioneers). Of course, upgrading the output coupling caps from 3000uF to 4700uF Nichicon Gold Tunes significantly improved the frequency response. Better, tighter low-end and, strangely enough, a clearer crisper high-end.
The only issue is the power-up THUMP on my speakers. But there is a quick fix to this, apparently.

This amplifier is a real gem. A total piece of history in the Hi-Fi world. Growing up, my Father had one sitting in the garage. As a kid I always thought of it as the basement amp, full of dust and nothing special. After striking an interest in stereos, I was quickly awakened to the special sound that lies within. I use two Jamo 7.5 floorstanding speakers built in the 2000s which are 4Ohms and really crave power. I use the Marantz as a pre-amp, connected to another Kenwood KA-791 Integrated amp. The Kenwood is a bareboned amp but does exactly what it needs to do, power the speakers at 120 Wpc @ 8ohms it pumps my Jamos and my Marantz does the tuning. I'm an audiophile but i'm also a college student therefore I don't have the capital to go DEEP.
The Marantz is now merely finished with it's second College experience. I use it daily and constantly find myself blown away at the simplicity and sonic power introduced by the Marantz. If you come across one, snag it! Note: I only rated 8/10 because the Amp is vintage and doesn't compete with modern systems available on the market today.

Amazing amp. Mine is 40 y.o. and keeps on performing flawlessly. Pots and switches operate without any noises, with the exception of the volume button which does some scratching noise after the amp hasn't been used for some days, but easily fixed after some rotation cycles.
Bought used, there were some popping noises which were eliminated by replacing the input transistors of the power amps. Sound is sweet, bass is powerful, mids are clean and highs are extended, even though bandwidth is limited at 50kHz. Used with DIY loudspeakers (peerless/vifa), always amaze visitors with it's effortless program rendition (with good quality recordings, of course). Also, plenty of connections and flexibility. If you find one for sale, go for it and have the experience, I promise you won't regret it.

Just a note on this 1060 model.
The output stage is capacitor couped, this itself is not really a problem but I trashed a pair of headphones by powering on the amp with them plugged into the amp.
There is a high DC offset as the capacitors charge, with speakers connected this charge rapidly diminishes, but headphones have high impedance and can cause damage.
Sound wise I thought mine always sounded to soft and lacking any dynamics. Uses a single rail supply as apposed to a twin supply found in better amplifiers, hence the need of the decoupling at the speakers.
Recapping would probably give a good sonic improvement, and there there is no speaker protection system on this amp as a shorted output transistor would never pass DC to the speakers unless the output cap was shorted.

Mid could be better. Is sometimes lacking.

Work great as a headphone amplifier, which is what I use it for at the moment..
It has plenty of power to run even the most powerhungry headphones. Its cheap and it just keeps on going.
Great cheap goodlooking amp

I saw this on a forum at head-fi.org and just wondered if anybody here would be willing to participate. I thought it was kind of interesting to see what everybody's number on their turntable was. It's interesting to find out who has the lowest number etc. I can start with my TT.Type: TD 160

B.No.: 113962
I assume that B.No. is the build number (??) or something like that. If anyone is a Thorens expert or if they used to work for Thorens - maybe they can help out with this. I am guessing that if we knew more about the number we could probably pin down date of manufacture and things like that. What is everybody else's numbers?
