The Marantz Model 15 Amp

I have a Cary SLI-80 tuber. Sounds great. Just love the older Marantz stuff which keeps my Mancave cooler in the Summer. Cary in the Winter. Maybe I’ll send the 15 through my 2226 preamp? What do you think?

Oh. My preamp is a Bluesound Node. Excellent!

Thanks! 
I bought this unit off eBay with the wooden cabinet, and it said working so what risks are involved if I just hook it up turn it on and everything is playing? Do I really need to check the bias and what risks are involved if I don’t?

Yes. I have the Heresy IV for sale, and enjoy Cornwall IV now. For amps I’ve used Cary XAI-1 SS as well. Cary CAD-808 ,(sold it), Marantz AVR, but I’m more into Marantz sound so far. I’ve got a DecWare ordered but who knows when that’ll be ready. 

Waytomuchstuff-

i wish I had the gumption to do this BUT it’s playing so well recently received… the bias was set… I wish I could but it’s an endeavor… hoping I can get my 2226 RED STEREO LAMP wire in there safely. Never done it. Blue LEDs have been successfully replaced. 

I was blessed to sell my Heresy IV’s, and now I have my Cornwall IV’s. I guess it’s time to let my Marantz 2226 go. 

Recently: NAD C316BEE amp and very pleased matched up with Bluesound Node …SVS Micro 3000 SUB, and Cornwall HERITAGE IVs

… a slight TURNBACK of the Treble knob on the NAD amp is amazingly effective t to the warmth and smoothness of the Treble…no listening fatigue.
