Dear Paul, You are right about the photo with Saul Marantz. Now I remember that it was Saul himself that fed that controversy about the IF filters. Notice that he refered to the filters as Butterworth

I know this is not about an SAE piece, but since there's a lot of techies here, I wondered if anyone was familiar with the modification that can be made to the Denon 1000F Cd player that makes it boot

Dear James, Thank you for the information regarding the "Butterworth" filters! It's always nice to set things straight. In the book "Vintage Hi-Fi Spotter's Guide Vol 1" there is a copy of a Marantz

Dear Paul, It is truly amazing that anyone in their right mind would sell a Thaedra for $175. If I see one I'll buy it. The technology that went into that unit was ahead of its time and is still

Dear Paul, Probably the biggest misconception about the 10B was the term coined by some idiot in Marantz marketing. The 10B (and subsequently the 20 DID NOT use the "butterworth" configuration for the

Dear James, Those performance specs for the 10b are remarkable (especially the adjacent figure)! Would the SAE Mk. VI have similar performance in this regard? Doesn't the SAE make use of Butterworth

Dear James, Thank you for the response. The upgrade is being considered. In my post, I was just indicating that, even today, without modification, the Thaedra is a great performer. If anybody finds

Dear Paul, There were approximately 3000 Thaedras made and yes you are right about the serial number sequence. The only two face plates that were made were the white, which is my doing, and the normal

Dear Paul, Most people, make that virtually no one, understands the design of the 10B and this is a fact. Even though the stability of the tuner is quite remarkable over time, it is very critical in

Dear James, The Thaedra was a lucky find. I happened to walk into a local stereo repair shop and there it was, just begging for a nice home! Because of the sloppy repair job that had been done to it

hello, high pass inputs of this amp are? Tony.

Hello James, I have no first hand knowledge of image problems with the 10b, I have just encountered reports of problems with the close spaced signals. The 10b's reported on, of course, may have needed

Dear Paul, Regarding your obtaining a Thaedra for $150, that has to be the steal of the century.I would recommend that at some point, you consider refurbishing the unit. The improvements are very

Dear Paul, It seems that you've done your homework. Your final selection probably sounds best for you. You are dead wrong about the 10B reception problems. I suspect that for some reason, somehow they

Hello James, Well, despite the SAE tuner price saga, the Thaedra has no sordid tale -- it was picked up (with manual) for $150. The exterior condition was teriffic. All lettering was good, no

Hello James, Thank you for the feedback and advise. You're right, $600 isn't cheap -- but I havn't seen one for less than that. I tried looking for a Marantz 10b and couldn't find one for less than

Dear Thomas, Finding a cover for a 2400 which is about 25 years old, might be impossible. You can check with Gale at ATI (323 278-0001) the successor company to SAE. She might be able to help as there

Dear Paul, I do believe that $600 is a bit much for the SAE Mark VI tuner. It doesn't matter what condition its in because it will need to be refurbished or at the least completely realigned. Use your

Sorry to bother again but I was wondering if anyone had a source where I might be able to obtain a cover for the 2400L that I have. It was inhereted by me without a cover and needs one badly. Any

Hello James, Thank you for the response! I'm not paying an arm AND a leg for the Mark VI (just an arm) $600 -- too much? It is in EXCELLENT condition. As far are the performance goes is your
