When I was twenty years old and in Vietnam I ordered all of my stereo stuff ( Pioneer receiver, tape deck, speakers, turntable and headphones) from the Military Exchange. Today I am 70 years old. My stereo stuff still works great..............Me? Not so much. 😊🇺🇸🚁

Chromecast audio adapter is far better than bluetooth, flac files played over wifi sound fantastic. I use roksan K 1 LIII amp and B&W 683 S2 .

Cool beans, good stuff. I have moved for the umpteenth time, finally to my retirement home for now, and am working on integrating quite an amount of good stereo gear acquired over the years. You videos will help. I subscribed. I also added two of your videos to a playlist of videos I am watching to get my act together. Kudos to you.

Ensinkin off Amazon bypasses all of this overly complicated stuff. Mount with double sided tape to the back of your receiver. Hidden and works well...

I have a 2250B with rebuilt Advent speakers. purchased it in 1976, sounds better than any digital receiver.

I still have my Marantz 2230, Realistic T-100 tower speakers, and a Garrard SL-95B. All were bought new in the mid 70's and are still working great. There is a special charm and warmth to fully analog that seems to just not be there with fully digital. We're 10-10 on the side.

I don't really see the point of this. If you are using bluetooth to walk around your house and listen to music, then just set the volume control a little higher and be done with it. You won't be switching inputs so what is the point of making them "even"? You could also put a 6dB attenuator in the monitor loop and bypass it when using bluetooth. That should help quiet down that overly loud FM. Attenuators are passive so no external power is required.

I bought a New Marantz Stereo in 1973 and it was Stunning... Craftsmanship, Colorful Lighting and Sound... Loved it! 💥💥💥💥💥

You did a great job explaining your Bluetooth installation. However I did not find it necessary to do all of this work. I picked a Bluetooth receiver for about $20.00 on eBay, plugged it in and it worked fine. Great equal volume, good fidelity and range. No need to do any of the adaptations you displayed. Sorry that the one you chose was not robust.

My dad had the same receiver! I use to spin the tuning wheel on the right in 1983. I really love that look and the quality of the components is lovely.

Excellent tutorial

My AC outlet options are 120v unswitched (200W max) and 60Hz switched (100W max). Should I plug my adapter into the unswitched outlet? Thanks.

Is there a way to add Blue tooth to a Vintage stereo so it can transmit out to a device such as a computer ?

Great creativity! But I still believe that adding bluetooth to a receiver like this is like buying a ferrari to get groceries. You can get cheap streamers like a chromecast audio for 50 bucks that run tidal and qobuz over wifi. Give it a try

I can not understand something ..does this goodies can conect to any old era ampliphiers?

The built in BT on my Yamaha R-N803 (made in 2017) is pale in comparison in terms of sound quality and high end to the my new separate unit Blume HD Pro. I no longer use the internal BT on my Yamaha. I highly recommend getting a separate.

I know this is an old video but im glad i come across it by mistake i was already looking into getting this very line driver and didn't even realize thats what you were going to be using.

I have a Sansui 9090DB receiver. Would I need to add the PAC line driver also?

Why the fuck would anyone want to mod a Marantz to fucking Bluetooth? Doesn't that defeat the purpose? Hell, if you want bluetooth, why would you buy vintage? Just pick up the latest ad best peice of crap at wallodooloooooo iil;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;unj m. ubbbbbbbbbbbbbu

Thanks for this idea
