RE: Marantz Classics Reissued 1996

Marantz reissues were cosmetically identical to the originals, nut added an IEC socket for power.They were farmed out to VAC for the construction.

While hardwired as per original, the reissues were not the same. Silver plated teflon wire was used throughout and film coupling caps were used. With such changes , it would be natural for the sound to change from the original. The general concensus was that the reissues were significantly brighter than the original.

While hardwired, the wire bundling ws not up to the standard of the original tied bundles


IMHO, and YMMV
