HQaudios Restoration & Testing Process

Before Restoration

• After decades of service, the Marantz 2015’s power supply, amplifier section, FM/AM tuner, preamplifier circuits, input selector, volume and tone controls, switches, relays, and illuminated dial system required careful inspection before restoration began.
• For this 2015, HQaudios placed particular attention on the condition of the power supply, output stage, tuner section, controls, switches, potentiometers, speaker terminals, RCA input/output connections, and internal wiring. These components are critical to long-term reliability, channel balance, and overall audio performance.
• The amplifier circuits, tuner alignment, signal path, dial illumination, gyro-touch tuning mechanism, meters, and front-panel controls were also carefully evaluated to determine the receiver’s overall operating condition before restoration started.

During Restoration

• Based on the inspection results, this 2015 was restored according to HQaudios’ technical standards while preserving the engineering and performance characteristics of the original design.
• The power supply, amplifier section, and signal path were cleaned, inspected, serviced, and adjusted to restore stable and reliable performance. Controls, switches, relays, and connectors were carefully cleaned to eliminate noise and ensure smooth operation.
• FM/AM tuner performance, channel balance, input selection, speaker outputs, tone controls, and all front-panel functions were tested and calibrated.
• The power supply, signal path, and internal circuit boards are inspected to ensure long-term reliability. Components that no longer met technical specifications were replaced based on inspection and testing results, while critical solder joints were reinforced to improve operational stability.
• After the technical restoration was completed, the exterior was professionally cleaned and detailed to preserve the 2015’s original appearance.

After Restoration

• Once restoration was completed, this 2015 underwent comprehensive functional testing under real operating conditions.
• Amplifier performance, tuner reception, channel balance, output power, protection circuitry, meter response, dial illumination, and all audio inputs and outputs were thoroughly tested to verify proper operation.
• Finally, the unit underwent several hours of continuous listening tests through a complete vintage audio system to evaluate sound quality, operational stability, and overall real-world performance.
• Only after successfully meeting HQaudios’ restoration and testing standards was the Marantz 2015 approved and prepared for its next owner.
