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. 😊🇺🇸🚁
But they that wait upon the Lord shall renew their strength; they shall mount up with wings as eagles; they shall run, and not be weary; and they shall walk, and not faint. [Isaiah 40:31]
Kenneth M. You know, that’s exactly what I thought.
Mr. Terry, I see you used the helicopter emoji and wonder what outfit you were with. I myself flew in recent years with the Green Feet (Jolly) (HH-60) . Love hearing the old guys out there and what birds they flew on!
I'm 49 but as a teenager I "inherited" all my vietnam vet stepfather's top of the line pioneer equipment he had bought in the late 70s early 80s when we were stationed in Germany.
@@prestond19 I was a pilot (1970) with A troop 7/1st Air Cavalry. We had AH-1G Cobra Attack Helicopters, UH-1H Huey Helicopters and OH-6 Scout helicopters.
We hunted the “bad guys” every day.
Business was good.♠
I can't thank you enough. I have tried all sorts of methods, jacks, amplifiers, etc. to play my mp3's and premium music sites through my existing stereo system. Never with any luck. Everything either buzzed or was garbled. This works perfectly. This gives a whole new life to my system!
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.
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 bought a New Marantz Stereo in 1973 and it was Stunning... Craftsmanship, Colorful Lighting and Sound... Loved it! 💥💥💥💥💥
Just like cars, they sure don't make receivers & amps like they used to...
Nice job ! I invested a substantial amount of $ into my home stereo in the vintage time frame and was always wanting to Bluetooth my system as my main music was on LP that just hasn’t cut it for a long time. I’ve always been meaning to but never checked it out I stumblyon this and it is perfect for what I want! Thanks!
Back in the early 80s, a friend of mine had that exact Marantz receiver, and I remember our amazement over the tuner dial: thanks to a rather heavy flywheel, just a single flick of the dial would make the 'pointer' go all the way from one end to the other, and stop with an audible "clunk". It sounded great too btw.
I have been saying for at least 2 years that I wanted to do this and it just wasn't made and yet here it is!
Just completed this upgrade, using your step by step. Works perfect, thanks.
That is a beautiful receiver. I love the look of those old things.
50 years ago I owned a 2220B. It was nice to see your B series.
This video really gives a great option to use vintage equipment with modern technology. Love how you demonstrated the process. Keep the superior videos coming. :))
Many Thanks.
Wow... Great help! I have a 33 year old "Rockstar" Onkyo M-5150 amp with a separate pre-amp hooked up to a pair of Klipschorns and this is the info I absolutely needed. With all the toys I have in my house, I still like my CD's just like I love my 12 year old blk Porsche 911 C4S Cabriolet.. Classics never die... Kudos and thx.
K Horns... Iam jealous.
.... of coarse you have a Porsche 911 cabriolet. You must be a man of discriminating taste
My mom had that Marantz 2250 B... Brought back memories of me listening to professional Shure Head Phones in the late 70's on the shag carpet floor listening to Pink Floyd Animal's ... Great way to meditate.
Animals.. One of my all time favorite Floyd ALBUMS :)

I appreciate your taking the time to share the way you solved the low level coming out of most Bluetooth to audio receivers, however I ´d like to share that I was lucky to try in the first place a LOGITECH bluetooth receiver, cheap, simple and has great sound. You only need to connect it to any 5v cel phone charger to power it, and presto! I´ve helped some friends having the same problem when using some other brand BT receivers and I pass the Logitech recommendation. It sells for less than $20 USD.
I hope this helps many others.
Thanks for putting this up! For me this is a treasure of information.
Thanks for the helpful video. Never really thought about the line driver but I’m going to include one on my setup.
I have a 2250B with rebuilt Advent speakers. purchased it in 1976, sounds better than any digital receiver.
Try out Sansui from this era, won’t be disappointed.
I just did this to my Vintage Marantz with Bose 901 took 5 min sounds great !
Wow! I have a Marantz receiver and power amp of that vintage - loved that style, still do. Thanks for this.
@Terry Melvin Yeah, and I wish things were still built that way. My Model 250M power amp is about 12X10 inches or so but weighs a ton with massive, finned heat sinks. I replaced the power transistors years ago - just because it was easy.
That’s my Marantz! Loved it. College days, that was not cheap by any means
They have gone up a a few hundred dollars in just the last four or five years.
nice Marantz! I recently picked up the Marantz 4430 Quadradial..great sounding recievers!
That's great. Thanks for the info & education on BT adapters. Now I can pandora to my Yamaha 890. Have Bless day
I have the 2225, being revised next month. Yours looks brand new!
Wow!! Thanks. Your tutorial was just what I needed.
That's pretty cool
I recently had a friend of mine MAC 1900 in for a little clean and repair, he had bought it new back in the 70's. Not sure why Macintosh named them receivers MAC's... could have been it wasn't separate components like the rest of the line they manufactured? years of serving tunes in his shop had it pretty filled with sawdust. It didn't require much, the pre amp cards and driver card needed to be pulled out and sockets cleaned and she was off to the races ... oh that and some new lamps here and there
Plugged an HK bluetooth into my 20 y/o Yamaha receiver. Works like a charm.
Beautiful Marantz! I added BT to my old Yamaha rx-v990. I bought and returned a new 7.1 Onkyo and Denon receiver due to sound quality. Nothing compares to vintage gear.
You are 100% spot on my friend.
Nice! I like how you think out of the box.
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.
Interesting approach, would never have considered the solution from the car audio world. Dig. I've been wary to add bluetooth, just hooked up Schiit DAC and plug in an old phone with wifi to the dac and control Spotify from my daily use phone from wherever I be sitting. Perfection.
sounds like a nice setup.
Very smart idea. Thank you my friend.
Very clever...very practical...good job.
I had a 6' stack of nice Marantz receivers of this vintage from 2216 to 2270 to 2275 to 2325 and sold them all except my 2250B because it seemed to have the most tube-like openness of all.
I miss my 2245.
I’m impressed!!! 👍🏼
Hey this is pretty cool my dads got an old reciever exactly like this one. Ill have to show him this video.
Nice mate. Thanks for sharing. At my end the cd sounded better than the BT. Thx again.
That's simply genius, thanks You!!
Great video. A blutooth-ready external DAC, might also be an option. I opted for a blutooth receiver with SPDIF (both Optical/Coaxial) out, allowing connection to an external DAC before the amp. That way, the volume out is as good as what the DAC provides, using a DAC, which has better chips and power supply with more punchy ummpth out of the RCA (red/white) out. The DAC Im using is the Schiit Modi 3 and this is hooked up to my vintage amp (Denon PMA-250III). If your DAC has extra inputs i.e TOSLINK/USB in, you can also hook up your PC,CD/DVD/TV with a nice, good quality RCA cable to your vintage amp's input (ovbz not the phono input, that's for a moving magnet turntable). Also, if you are an audiphile, not happy with bluetooth and want to cast from device using wifi, you can also use a normal chromecast connected to a hdmi to SPDIF extractor (bit messy though) or a chromecast audio (discontinued but can be found on ebay), which usually has a combined 3.5 stereo jack but also a mini TOSLINK for optical out for external DAC (or AV receiver) connectivity.
Been streaming on my old Sansui for 15 years using Airport. OK, WiFi, not BT, but I can stream from my Mac, MacBook, iPhone and iPad beautifully. SO much better than any BT setup I have tried. Stream to any room in my house at the same time without the range issues BT has, and I can control the music from anywhere in my network. don't make 'em anymore but they still work great. AND I can play all my own music, well over 100 GB, stored centrally, using 's Remote app.
All that said, I have old cars, and those BT receivers are great for playing my music without having to butcher the car by fitting a modern head unit. I might check out that Fusion unit.
Thank you,that worked great!
perfect this is exactly what i was wanting to do! thank you thank you thank you
Thanks for filming
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.
Thank you so much, I am in the middle of a relocation.( moving is a pain in the A$$ isn't it ? ) I cant wait to get into our hopefully final home. Cheers.
@@breakerbroke23 I hear that. Cheers for sure.
Thank you for the lovely idea. i would love to try it out myself
Thank u mate! I’ve got great idea from u :) god bless u!
Well you guys from out of states the PAC LD-10 is available on Amazon for 25 bucks US. Thanks for a great video I was trying to figure out a way to get more punch out of my iPhone using the headset jack I’m sure with this piggyback system it will sound awesome and easier to use through Bluetooth... love those Marantz receivers.
Thanks that was really helpful.
I love my vintage stereo receiver and will definitely get this as a nice addition to the system.
Get a Logitec BT adapter from Amozon. $30 and works and sounds great.
Yes the logitec will work well, but the pre out level is still low.
good work!
Max from Italy
I vaguely remember as a kid playing around with the old record player that it had the same issue as the bluetooth receiver. You had to crank it pass half way but if you turned the knob to the radio tuner you needed to turn the volume way down if you didn't want to wake the dead with the volume.
Great classic I just picked up
A 2215 to begin with
I had the TK-421 upgrade done that kicks it up 3-4 quads per channel. They did it in house
Great video...thank you
I've been toying with adding a Bluetooth module to my Onkyo system in the living room but was worried it would sound like crap. Now I know how to make it work properly - thanks!
It will still sound like crap.
@@nickv4073 I tryed this and all i get is hum and noise..so your right
Oh man that Marantz is a beautiful piece of equipment
Thanks you so much for providing a likely solution to the issue I had using the Sonos Connect. Just about blew up my speakers when I inadvertently switched from the Sonos input to the FM input on my Marantz Amp. Gave the Connect back to the owner. Super good explanation of why I was having the problem. Cheers!
YES! You get it. Thanks for your comment.
Cheers.
@@breakerbroke23 Hi. Do you think I could put the pre-amp between the Sonos Connect and my Amp?
cool, I have a marantz 2216 and a early 90's sansui reciver, they both are great.
Excellent tutorial
Aside from all the bluetooth stuff, that's a nice Marantz receiver.
I have the same receiver that I bought in 1974. Only problem is some crackle static noise when I adjust volume. Going to get some electrical cleaner to spray in there to hopefully take care of that. Just yesterday I bumped one of the slider knobs and it cracked the inside where it clamps onto the metal stem which bummed me out. It’s in my garage giving me pleasure when I work out there still going strong. Great video and I think I may add this to it to get more enjoyment out of this classic piece of equipment!
Yes just open the receiver up and shoot some Deox in while working the knob back and forth.amzn.to/2uoDVnL
Im glad you still have the rig you bought in 74, I have a few electronics I bought back then and I cherish these items. They don't build things like they used to :)
@@breakerbroke23 Deoxing it works! Try it. Crackle gone. Balance/volume improved drastically.
I remember that receiver way back in the 70's. (or a very similar model)
Awesome videos i do appreciate them I also have a vintage Marantz 2265B works great I went with the Harman Kardon bluetooth. And works great.
Very cool!
Excellent neat and tidy low cost solution to an on going problem. Thank you.
Thank you, And thanks for watching my other videos....Cheers
breakerbroke23 I enjoy the variety of projects you work on. I have similar interests. Just found your channel. I’m looking forward to watching more. This caught my attention when I saw the nice clean Marantz. I love those units.
I also love the old style, although I do like my surround sound processer,,, so I always use Harmon kardon AVR series.
Awesome thanks
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 .
I had a 2235B back in the day. Wish I could get my hands on that unit again.
I have a Motorola branded one it seems to work well and it has RCA jacks on it
Nice. Good stuff. I've the 2235B - can't ever part with it. This is the kinda tinkering I used to do 10 years ago when it was all still sorta new. Played with Pi for a long time as well but I've boxed most of it. A while back I bought a Bluesound Node 2i and threw that in the mix and it does everything I need it to in a tidy little box. Never will take the Marantz out of the mix though.
Nice Receiver you have there. Keep that unit as long as you can. Great comment..... Cheers.
@@breakerbroke23 For sure - I intend to. I just priced them a day or two and it's bananas how they've inflated. All the good 70s ones really. Spent 2 decades with my dad's bought-new-in-late-'72 Pioneer SX-727. Regret letting that one go (back around 05 to fund playing with quads I'd always wanted much earlier but couldn't afford) but always loved that Pioneer. The Marantz is a bit better but similar. Anyhow. Cheers back to you ya. Cool channel. :)
You are both right! But it is important to crimp first, and solder second if you choose to do both*. If you solder first, then crimp a soldered joint, it will get loose. Think of the solder as a very, very thick liquid... over time, it will flow enough so that the joint is weakened.
*Why do both? Crimp for strength, solder for electrical integrity.
I love your 2250, it's a real beauty and in great condition. Please take it off that CD player. I am glad to see people having fun with the vintage stuff, if you take care of it, it will last a lifetime and be much better than what they will sell you today, in the same category of course. Also, there is nothing "audiophile" that I have seen here, rather it is great high fidelity audio equipment that sounds great and is more fun to play with than any "audiophile" equipment.
In the Marantz's normal operating location the CD is on the shelf above the Marantz, so technically its is not touching it.:)
audiophile means nothing to me, some of the most boring systems Iv ever heard were the megga $ setups. I like to have fun when I listen to music, sometimes I like tons of low end sometimes I like flat and mellow. audiophiles decry tone controls and anything else other than vinyl. Boring! Many years ago my friend (he is not into audio) asked me what are the best speakers you can buy... I answered, the speakers that sound great to YOU. Cheers
Hey Mac, go away. It's his stuff. He likes it.
Thank you for sharing! Wishing you favor 🙏
Love it if you would have shown the entire process, as I have a 2250B!
How cool: I have the Marantz 2226B that I bought new back in the mid 70’s its in my cabinet looking very spiffy, my orders to my children, “DO NOT TOSS IT OUT” by this video it can be brought up to modern standards. 👍🏻
"Do Not Toss Out" That needs to find its way into your will.
I will give it a nice home.
great follow up Video, Thanks , i sort of laugh these days because my 27 year old Son and all his Buddies are now discovering how good all the older Analog and Equipment sounds from the 70s and 80s of course a downfall of the older equipment is no Bluetooth and limited models with Remote Control ability i must admit that even myself enjoys listening to Pandora and other Bluetooth Venues but do hate the rinky dinky swapping of mini jacks and RCA plugs to get things to work i appreciate you sharing your knowledge and components to make it easier to do so in a more professional manner
Receivers with no remote control and having to get up and turn the "album" over is why our generation was in such good shape:)
I just bought a Sonos Move and Sonos One because of the great reviews on the sound.
Comparing it to my HK integrated amp, Mission speakers and a 1991 Technics CD changer the Sonos sound thin.
And this is a simple late ‘80’s early ‘90’s set up.
I think MP3 stolen Napster audio handicapped a generation of listeners.
Hello! Great video. How did u get the same music from your phone as your am fm station?
I ask because id like todo this set up in my cars amp and also be able to listen to am fm stereo (news, talk radio etc).. and otherwise play music from phone, bluetooth.
Excluding the car stereo and long rca wiring to the rear. Short rca from interfaces to the amp is ok
I had a Marantz 2250, purchased from Pacific Stereo in 1973. Its nice seeing one again.
Wow how much was it, back then? You can still get these on Craigslist, usually in pretty good condition
Just Traveling I bought mine in 1974 and it’s in my garage happily still pumping out the tunes for me to enjoy. This was so cool seeing one on here. Such a classy lookin receiver. Only problem mine has I’d some crackle sound when I adjust the volume. Wonder if some electrical cleaner would stop that?
@@ssng1 Its worth a try. Mine developed a quirk where you'd have to "drop it" from about 2 inches to make it come on. I gave it to a ten year old neighbor kid who didn't mid dropping it occasionally.
Good info.
Really beautiful Marantz receiver but damn... try to color match the tuning dial with the tuning meters.
Thanks

I use an audioengine b1 Bluetooth 5.0 and feed a rebuilt 1975 Marantz 1060 (30w per ch) to drive four 1975 KEF 104s on a large mantel piece because it’s the only place to put them. Total price for all equipment on ebay would be about $1,500 or less. I have seen the KEFs elsewhere for as little as $300 a set.
I bought one set of KEFs in 1975 because they were the speakers I liked best in all the DC area. That includes Klipschorns. I think the KEFs retailed for $500 each which was a month's take home pay each. I bought the other set (104ab) on ebay from Australia for total about $600.
The Marantz accommodates two sets of speakers and also includes click-stop bass, mid and treble knobs. I set mine at plus one, minus two, and minus one. Plus some room baffles.
PS: My KEFs have never been recapped and I doubt the ones from Australia were either. I have had them for 15 years myself.
The 1060 is a nice sounding amplifier, there is a Pioneer 30wpc Amp that is an almost exact clone (circuit design wise) to the 1060, wish I could remember the model number. I have listened to some KEF speakers many years ago, they sounded very good, not sure what model they were. CRS:) Great comment. Cheers
I have watched a couple of your videos and appreciate the information you provide. I am setting up a sound system in a man cave and I also DJ on occasion and I am wondering if you have ever set up bluetooth to a stereo from a PC to a stereo with a dedicated music program such as the old Music Match software. I would like to have the stereo in one part of the room and the computer in another like a laptop on a table or desk top computer behind the bar. I would assume that it would work similar to a phones bluetooth correct?
Yes I think your idea would work, not sure how your PCs Bluetooth would work range wise ( so far iam not a fan of windows 10 Bluetooth possessing ) but if you have problems getting a solid performing signal from your PC then maybe try a Miccus RTX2 transmitter(300ft model) and grab audio from a headphone jack on your PC. This is what I do when trying to send BT from my PC to a speaker or my home receiver. Cheers and merry Christmas ...... BB23
Hey that's interesting. I'd never heard of those line drivers before, thx!
The new higher end BT receivers are now using the correct preamp line level so you no longer need the line drivers. th-cam.com/video/EQJRmv65B5E/w-d-xo.html
How did you connect the line driver and the Bluetooth to the ac adapter my friend? As in the negative and positive wires from the ac adapter.
Thanks.
Hi i like your idea very much but i dont think i can find a PAC Line Driver here in my country, i dont have a headphone mini amplifier, you think it will work just the same?
Hey! Chas, that’s the same tune Larry uses on his channel, Mobiltec. Small world.
Thank you.
Hi if the stereo has only 3.5 mm audio jack input what would be your recommendation to achieve the same result.
I would love a little more detail on wiring the line driver to a power source. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks!
What is the frequency response of the M10 line driver, and what does the response curve look like?
Does the JL audio adapter have good separation for 4 channels? Looking for the highest quality Bluetooth adapter for my car. Sick of FM transmitters. I’m losing so much fidelity using FM, and it’s not giving my system full potential.
Excellent info, thanks breakerbroke23!
Just FYI, I added "Mii B06 Plus Bluetooth Receiver" I got from Amazon back in 2019, to my JVC Stereo Receiver I use in my garage. The wall wart plugged directly into my receiver AC jacks (switched) ran RCA outputs into Aux RCA on receiver and it has worked perfectly. The only source I have used is my phone sending BT over to this unit. Bottom line, it has worked great w/o need for additional amp to drive circuit to a line level input. Less than $30 and solves everything with less wires. Looks like now for $10 more you can get the same but with longer range. I only use the garage receiver to play from BT (no CD, turntable, etc.) but with my receiver set at about 40% volume my volume on phone is more than enough. Maybe not best solution for all but for my setup and less than $30 I find it to be great.
AND.... Nowadays some BT receivers with RCA outputs are the proper 2.0 Volt RMS output level. Most of the good ones that is. Thanks for your comment and Cheers.
I enjoyed your video and I ran into the same level mis-matching when I tried this on my setup a while back. I'm now going to try your solution with a PAC line driver. Where do you get those nice Solder-on male RCA jacks?
The ends I used were leftover stock from my Car Stereo Business circa 1992:) Just look up some on Amazon, they do have some nice ones on the cheap. Like these... amzn.to/2QpfFKA
so I have the 2 wire (loose end) of the ac adapter, the 2 wire (loose black & red end) off of LD10 and 2 wire loose (black and red end) off of bluetooth adapter - do these 6 wires then all get tied together at LD to make 1 splice ?
Hi, thanks for putting together these TH-cam’s! I have had a look at our micro hifi system, a Yamaha MCR-840 and it seems that the mains power gets transformed down to 10v DC. Is this enough power to run a Fusion BT100 or JL Audio MBT-RX?
No, they require 12v
soo sorry sold my 2250 ! But my 1980's powerful Pioneer is running are hole surround system in living room without a glitch ..Did install the fiber optics for the new Big Screen and now sounds better then before ?
I hear the Sony cd player to sound better, especially in the high frequencies, however this is a very good idea....thanks...
Yes the CD does sound much better, Bluetooth is simply a convenience.
