RE: Marantz SC7S2 preamp!

Hi Charles,

Thanks...I had the Mono Extremes before, and loved them... There are things I like from them, but in the end, like all of us, I traded up or traded towards different.

Sound wise, I like details and also some warmth. Not glaring, bright details, not boomy warmth, I like a good balance. I don't want to cringe at glaring details but don't want bass to overshadow the rest of the music as well. Honestly, I love my Marantz gear, currently the PM11S3 is awesome. Kind of bought this SC7S2 because it's a great deal and always wanted one....

My plan is to use it with the PM11S3 first and see how it goes, if the sound is noticeably better, than, I am keeping the SC7, if not, then I am keeping the PM11S3.

I have had Pass X250, Odessy Mono Extremes, EVS M100 and M500 combo, Some tubes (Cyber 800), Emotiva XPA5, etc.

Thanks
Tuan
