Description

The Marantz 105 is an analog AM/FM stereo tuner produced by the famous American brand in the 1970s, now sought after by collectors and enthusiasts of vintage hi-fi. This discontinued component, aimed at the used and vintage market, retains the charm of classic Marantz equipment, recognizable by its solid construction and the quality of its radio section.

Tuning is via an analog dial with a dedicated knob, following the typical construction approach of the time: a solution that many audiophiles continue to prefer for the precision of the mechanical feedback and the instrumental aesthetics of the front panel. The FM band covers the range from 88 to 108 MHz, while the MW (medium wave) section operates from 540 to 1605 kHz, ensuring full compatibility with Italian and European radio stations still active.

On the performance level, the FM sensitivity of 3.0 µV allows reception even of broadcasters with a relatively weak signal, while the signal to noise ratio of 55 dB in FM and the distortion contained at 0,8% give a clean listening, particularly appreciable on the transmissionsmissionFM music. The frequency response, between 30 Hz and 15 kHz, is consistent with the broadcast standard of the period.

What's the best vintage tuner for a vintage hi-fi system? The Marantz 105 represents a balanced choice for those seeking a quality radio component to pair with contemporary Marantz integrated amplifiers (1060, 1070, 1090 series) or vintage systems from other brands from the golden age of American and Japanese hi-fi. Its compact size (360 mm wide) makes it easy to integrate into dedicated racks and audio cabinets.

Since this is a vintage device, it's advisable to check the electrolytic capacitors, the alignment of the radio section, and the cleanliness of the contacts before intensive use. Professional maintenance can restore the tuner to performance very close to its original state. A collector's item suitable for anyone wishing to rebuild a philologically consistent vintage hi-fi system.

Integrated, Pre-Amplifier, or Receiver: A Guide to Choosing

When building a Hi-Fi system, choosing the right amplifier is one of the most important—and often confusing—steps. Integrated amplifier, preamplifier and power amplifier pair, receiver: three different philosophies, three ways of understanding sound and experience…

What is an integrated amplifier and why is it the point

The integrated amplifier is the most common solution in home Hi-Fi, and for good reason. It combines two essential functions in a single chassis: the preamplifier, which manages the sources, adjusts the volume, and shapes the audio signal, and the power amplifier, which amplifies the signal to drive the speakers. It's the natural choice for those who want a complete, efficient, and ready-to-use system without complications.
