Introducing the "Marantz Gold Plate" Service
Your Marantz 22xx or 23xx series receiver is a masterpiece of mid-century engineering—beautifully built and delivering fantastic sound. These legendary units are still going strong after nearly 50 years, but they often need maintenance to keep performing at their best.
At Stereo Lab, we’ve bundled essential restoration services into a single, comprehensive package: the "Marantz Gold Plate" Service. In most cases, this service will restore your receiver to its former glory. If we discover additional issues, we’ll discuss them with you and determine the best course of action.
Service includes.
1. Cleaning all controls and switches, including pre-main loop
2. Dress all connections with CAIG De-Oxit
3. Replacing all lamps with LED, in your choice of blue or white, including indicator lamps (as needed)
4. New LED stereo beacon
5. Clean and l**e tuning capacitor
6. Replacement of speaker protection relay
7. Replacement of capacitors on the power supply
8. Testing and replacement of critical capacitors as needed
9. FM discriminator centering
10. Peak FM IF coils
11. Clean and polish faceplate
12. Clean and De-Ox rear RCA and speaker binding posts
13. Test all inputs, including phono
14. Test for more serious issues that may need to be addressed separately
15. Test for broken or cold solder joints and reflow if needed
16. Calibrate DC Offset and Bias per spec
17. Replace missing feet with new 3-D printed feet
18. Produce report on unit performance with our state-of-the-art analyzer
19. 180 day warranty on any work we have done
20. Piece will be next on the bench, no 8-10 week backlog to wait on

All for $599.00 + Tax
Caveats:
Problems found outside the service parameters stated are not eligible for special pricing and will be estimated separately. Quad units are not eligible. Units outside the 22xx and 23xx model lines are not eligible. Only Marantz units are eligible. “Next on the bench” means as soon as the tech has cleared the piece ahead of yours, you are next.

Looking for a great gift for Dad or that new graduate? Look no further than Stereo Lab!

We've recently added some exceptional vintage gear to the showroom, including a monster Marantz 2285 receiver (not the more common 2285B—this one is a bit rare) for $2,400. We also have a beautiful Pioneer SX-980 in excellent condition for $1,800.

Of course, that's just the beginning. Our showroom is packed with vintage audio goodness, from classic receivers and turntables to speakers and amplifiers.

And during the month of June, it's time for our annual Dads 'N Grads Sale! Enjoy 20% OFF select items, including both the Marantz 2285 and Pioneer SX-980.

Every piece has been serviced by the pros at Stereo Lab and carries our 90-day warranty.

Coming Soon Exclusively to Stereo Lab

At AXPONA this past April, we had the opportunity to meet some remarkable people doing remarkable work. One of the highlights was discovering Nobius Audio, a small Illinois-based company handcrafting exceptional bookshelf loudspeakers with a focus on musicality, craftsmanship, and value.

We're excited to announce that Stereo Lab will soon be an authorized Nobius Audio dealer, bringing these outstanding speakers to music lovers throughout Central Ohio.

High-quality bookshelf speakers have always been one of our most sought-after products, and they rarely stay on our sales floor for long. When the opportunity arose to partner with a company as passionate about great sound as we are, it was an easy decision.

We expect our first Nobius Audio speakers to arrive in early summer. Stay tuned for photos, listening impressions, and product announcements as we prepare to introduce something special to the Stereo Lab showroom.

Seven years ago today, I took over the day-to-day operations at Stereo Lab. In doing so, I inherited a long legacy built by people who truly loved music and audio gear. Over the decades, they created an iconic Columbus institution, and I’m grateful to stand on the shoulders of those giants.

Today, we are proud to continue that tradition — keeping classic gear alive, restoring legendary equipment, and still selling many of the same beloved brands that helped make Stereo Lab a Columbus audio icon.

What began in 1970 as a passion for great sound continues today with the same commitment to craftsmanship, music, and tone.
