Sometimes age-old dreams really do come true.
Ever since I was a wee nipper of an audiophile, barely knee-high to a standmount speaker, I have thought that the pinnacle of aesthetic hifi perfection were those Marantz quadraphonic receivers from the 1970s. If you are old enough you must remember them!
Well, inspired (and made insanely jealous) by new AOS member Patrick's
Kenwood receiver I perused that well-known online auction site for something that would finally satisfy my 40 year craving.
And here she is, just arrived all the way from Holland ....
Isn't she a beauty
What does she sound like? I have no idea, I just plan to admire her looks.
Well, perhaps I'll connect her up sometime soon.
