I've never wanted anything made by Marantz, could always have been a
lot better.
Have you ever seen a marantz 2, 5 or 8B amplifier or a 9 or 9C
preamp???????????
I owned a Marantz 8B in the day, I would have thought it would have received
high marks from Patrick, at least as high he would give any commercial product.
It even uses the sort of circuit he espouses, I'm not sure if the OPT would be
up to his standards though.
I never heard of the Marantz 9 or 9C?
