No power going into my marantz 44se amp. - Marantz Audio Players & Recorders

Are the speakers connected?

If so , you have an output DC voltage issue ( typically outputs dont want to see more than 100mV DC going to the speakers. If that happens , the Protect circuit will kick in. Find a repair tech in your area because I think this amp is worth fixing

Please see my answers regarding the hookup of Marantz amps and preamps.

marantz SR 4003 how to reset (hard reset ) remove power plug from power .Take cover off locate ic 12 (24 c eeprom) short pin 5 to ground while plugging the power in .Unit will show clear on fl screen .if the unit trips again check channels.

Hi, i don't really understand why you want to connect an amplifier to an amplifer.
Might be that you want to get a louder volume or ?don't know.

I don't think there is any need for you too connect marantz ki17 amp to a power am. Both do the same work, but might have different watts.
So you will need to check what you want to connect with the amplifier first and check the watts that can carry it without interference from the amplifier.

I guess that would do the magic.

Have a nice day.

AUX does not have enough gain for a pick up, it will never have volume. Use the proper (phonograph/main/turntable/preamp) input. Check the wiring from the stylus arm all the way to the RCA plugs, one of them might be shorting, or broken. Just test for continuity from the cartridge receptacle to the RCA plug. Turntables have very little sound components to go wrong.

HI....

An 8 V , 250 mA fuse lamp is fine if that 's what the original looks like

These folks sell lamps for Marantz

For resetting sr6001: When power lights blinking, press "clear" + "pure direct" + "7.1 ch input" simultaneously for 3 seconds.

Hi spanky

The pre power combination would be the preffered rig. Has better power output, and more bang for your buck visually with the extra amp to the rack. The meters look great too. If you can go for them, then, do it. I would :) Just let me know which unit you would like to run up and I will photoshop up a rear view to show you how to connect it together. .

Hi spanky

Where to start :) I am excited thinking about them :p You got 2 totally cool pieces of classic vintage gear there in the C2 and the Marantz. I have a C2 preamp myself (gathering dust but wont sell it cos its excellent) and the marantz would be totally cool to have(but then I am a little biased towards 70's vintage marantz). They ruled the roost in HiFi amps throughout that decade.

Because they are both integrated amps, you could use them as standalone systems with a pair of speakers, and just plug your favourite gear into them. If you just wanted to run up a nice sounding HiFi, I would sell the kenwood gear and just keep the Marantz. The Kenwood kr1100 has the edge in power, so if it is grunt you are looking for use that. Because vintage sound is all about stereo, you only really need an integrated amp to get great results.

the specs are
# Kenwood Model Eleven G (KR-11000G) Receiver
120W per channel min RMS, both channels driven, at 8 ohms from 20 to 20.000 Hz with no more than 0.03% total harmonic distortion.
Dynamic power output 440W at 4 ohms
Power bandwidth 5 Hz to 70.000 HZ
Frequency response 5 Hz to 100.000 HZ -1.5dB
Signal to noise ratio 115dB

The marantz is a little lower in power at 75rms a channel, but will have the sonic edge in vintage sound over the kr1100. Look them up on ebay and you will find that they do have some value to collectors and people seeking nice tone. There is an 1152 for sale here for AU$900

Best bet is to fire up the 2 integrated amps,and see how they are going. Run them for several hours to be sure there is no strange noises and crackles. Then decide if you want power or finesse.

You could also run both amps from the C2 preamp by connecting to the Amp in connections to the rear of the integrated amps.

happy to talk to you more about it, hit me with a Fixya if my advice was helpful to you. I would keep the marantz, use that and sell the rest and buy some nice speakers:)
