So it doesn't look like a 7c, it's circuit is not like one either, neither are the parts?
There are dozens of opinions on these things
on the web including Jadis clones and McIntosh C22 clones etc.
I'd save my money. I read just last week on a blog someone's experience with one of these things where circuit errors on the PCB and part choices had to be corrected. I can't for the life of me remember where now.. but if I do recall it I will post it.
If it doesn't walk like a duck and smell like a duck well then it's not a duck!

Can't possibly be a Marantz 7 - where are the tone controls, filters, etc? It also says M7 in the description - trying to say it's the same as an Audio Note M7? If so, those two circuits are very different. Personally, I'd stay far away. If you like the look of vintage, buy an old Dynaco PAS and update it.
I agree. Even if the circuit is accurate, it is line stage only, and the circuit was designed to accommodate tone controls, tape loops, etc. If you don't want those features, a much simpler circuit would be more transparent. If you want those features, as you say, there are modern PAS kits that will have them. If you don't want them, there are also PAS redesigns that optimize the circuit to be without. These are by respected companies and designed by people who know what they are doing.
