The holy grail of tuners, the Marantz 10B. The tuning window has lost a few flakes of silk-screening over the years, but is still perfectly legible. Otherwise, this is a great example, electronically perfect, with a restored cabinet. Includes original owner's manual.

- The History of Marantz
- More than any other person, Saul Marantz defined premium home entertainment. Driven by his passion for music and his accomplishments as a classical guitarist – accomplishments that led to a close friendship with Andres Segovia – he was never satisfied with the “hi fi” equipment of his day.

- Liner Notes
Without doubt, the model 10B is the most advanced instrument of it's kind today. Marantz engineers have bypassed the inherent limitations of conventional circuits through the employment of bold new concepts and highly sophisticated electronic techniques. The performance of every circuit stage shows the dramatic order of improvement which can be achieved through creative inventiveness.
- Packing
- Prepare to be impressed. We have arguably the best packing process around. We use our InstaPak machine and white open cell foam to build a custom enclosure for your piece that ensures that it's stable and secure. If it is particularly fragile or heavy, we typically opt for private courier delivery. Depending on where you are in the country, that may cost a bit extra. We also take great care to protect the tubes. When sensible, we will pack the tubes to prevent any movement. Other times, we'll individually wrap the tubes and mark their corresponding socket to preserve the bias. You can be confident that your piece will be snug as a bug in a rug.
- Shipping
- This piece ships to the contiguous United States for a flat rate of $150, which includes our packaging and our insurance. Of course, we'll ship anywhere in the world, just drop us a line and we'll give you an estimate – even if you're just curious.
