Marantz 7

I don't want to start a price-flame war, but I'm simply curious as to why Marantz 7 preamps command such high prices compared to other tube preamps of their era. I've looked at a schematic for the Marantz preamp, and it appears to me to be a well-implemented, but fairly conventional, design. I have seen one opened up for service, before, though I've never heard one in operation, and the only unusual thing I noticed was the placement of the tubes. In fact, it doesn't seem to differ too much in terms of circuit design from the McIntosh C22 preamp, which I've seen offered at somewhat lower prices. For that matter, it wouldn't be hard to duplicate the Marantz design.

Isn't that sad. Generally speaking, they didn't have the economic resources to make great stuff, so most of it was cheap junk. I think that we should say "Don't sell that piece of gear" not just "Don't sell that piece of gear outside the country" if you really wanna be anal about it. It is all to often we see posts here that say "well I just bought such and such, how can I change it"? I'll bet the amount of "good stuff" flowing into the U. Its like an old Mercedes. It was not as "fantastic" as I thought. I am just grateful that the vast majority of them have a much more open-minded and enlightened attitude toward minorities. The older cars many of them still in perfectly good shape are purchased by these brokers who ship them overseas where they end up getting sold in 3rd world countries in Asia and the Pacific.

While several other components preamps, power amplifiers and electronic crossovers followed the Model 1 in quick succession, it was the Model 7 Stereo Preamplifier which came to market in late that would garner the distinction of being one of the most legendary components in the history of home audio.
