That Marantz pairing is truly lovely

When you compare it to a lot of modern equipment, it's pretty understated. Just a couple of boxes with enough display to let the user know what they need to do.

+2. Always liked the classic Marantz look.
“Music has always been a matter of energy to me, a question of fuel. Sentimental people call it inspiration, but what they really mean is fuel. I have always needed fuel. I am a serious consumer. On some nights I still believe that a car with the gas needle on empty can run about fifty more miles if you have the right music very loud on the radio”

I only bought them for their looks. But, happily, they are very capable performers as well.

The 'slit' tunning knobs were not in the same league as the weighted 'zoom it down the end of the scale in one flick' of others at the time.
Nevertheless, nuff knobs to twiddle til the cows come home.
Nice. Not absolutely right up there with the most desirable. But nice nonetheless.

They were/are top of my Most Desirable list as far as aesthetics are concerned.
