Marantz 7C
After seeing the replies here, I decided to do a little research on the Marantz 7C, it looked like a well thought out circuit that has a very loyal following by many audiophiles, here and in Japan. So I took a chance and ordered a set of boards. (I just hate discounting anything without at least giving it a chance!)
The boards arrived today and I plan to start building over the next week. BTW, the build quality looks top grade.
I'll let you know how it turns out.
Is there perhaps a better area on DIYAUDIO to discuss tube type equipment? I just thought the comment that the circuit was outdated probably is due to the fact that the person replying is a solid state kind of person.
I am a tube lover, and all my main equipment has at least 1 tube in it, even my DAC!
