With the masses waking up to the joys of retro design and fashion, it is indeed heartening to see Marantz respond with their new receiver cum stereo amp.

Looks promising for sure!

Really nice job of clearly explaining this unit. Best I've seen. I just purchased one for my shop, will be here tomorrow. Will be pairing this with a pair of KEF Q300's I bought 3 years ago and have been sitting in their box all this time. looking forward to powering this up and enjoying quality stereo music in the shop. Thanks again for taking the time to review this Marantz receiver.

Thanks! I've been seriously looking at this unit, and greatly appreciate your review.

I really should take my Marantz 4400 out of the hall closet and see give it a refresh/tube update? It was my best "quad" speaker system back in the mid 1070s...Such a descreet system! Looking at these new digital systems today, the more I pine for the days of FM radio and tube driven amps!

I want this one

Thanks for the greatest review :)

Great review!

Would love to see more modern 2 channel stereo receiver's with hdmi

I would like to know if the A/B connections are driven by 4 unique amps so that bi-amp speaker connections are a possibility?

I would love to see you review and compare the Marantz PM7000N to see what one could get for 400 dollars more! Love your reviews!!!!

Thanks

Looking forward to receiving mine. If nothing else, it should be an option loaded pre-amp.

May I ask: What do the Preout jacks do ? I just got the "cousin" to the Marrantz unit - Denon DRA - 800H . I'm looking to connect my Audio -Technica TT (LP120X BT USB ), to both the Denon Phono connection using the Phono Preamp AND connect the TT to my Tascam CD Recorder in order to record CDs without having to switch connections form the Denon to the Tascam unit. I have a Schiit SAGA+ , mini Preamp - Switcher which has 5 inputs (all RCAs ) to 2 outputs. At present , I have my Tascam CD recorder sending digital out signals via a Toslink digital cable to the Denon (Wow - what a difference when playing CDs instead of via RCA connects ), directly. I also have 2 other pieces of equipment - Teac CD/ Cassette / USB player and a TEAC Dual Cassette deck connected to the SAGA+. Simply select which input you want on the SAGA , and it is set to send out puts 1) to the Denon and 2) to the Tascam CD recorder..... So, I could switch the connections from the TT to the Line inputs on the SAGA which would allow me to record CDs from the TT. But that would require disconnecting the TT from the Denon Phono connection and then connecting it to the SAGA+. Schiit Tech recommended connecting the Denon's Preouts to the SAGA+ , thus avoiding the switching the connections. The TT does have ability on the rear to switch from Phono or Line Out output. Bottomline: will this work ? And , kindly explain the purpose to the Preouts. I do have a Sub Woofer connected to 1 of the 2 Sub Preouts on the Denon. THX for any advice, much appreciated.

Just picked up a NR1200 for my Def Tech BP9060.

I wonder if output caps can be upgraded to Jupitor copper in wax and bypassed by Dueland .01 silver??

the phono is good for the Pro-Ject Debut Carbon DC Turntable?

if he were here today,elvis would have had this receiver installed in his red velvet covered bedroom in graceland though he may have dispensed with it's streaming capabilities.with a stereo receiver like this marantz,any hound dog can rock out.

I have a marantz . They work really well as pre amps. I use one with a studio Halfler P7000 . It murders the chip amp alone in SQ and grunt. Chip amps sound jittery especially on horns. I would pick up a used marantz reciever and say a crown microtech. It will murder this thing , guaranteed in every fashion. I use JBL 580 and have a video Genelec /JBL Studio 580 II.

Bluetooth is only A2DP not APT-X. And when I try to play from my phone through the receiver the sound lags behind the picture and I can't find how to fix it. The Audio Delay adjustment in "Settings" lets you increase the lag by up to 500ms which in my case is no help at all.
