Ironic, on a NOT made in USA Marantz.

So, maybe just bad taste?

It originally belonged to Liberace.

 

Holy crap. Did he mean $19.75?, posted on July 2, 2022 at 18:42:59
It's like the dudes that take a classic car and put their own personal stamp on it, sinking the value, and aesthetics, in the process.

I never understood the appeal of Marantz after they gave up Tubes-
Happy Listening

That says a lot right there...
It remind me of a guy here locally who took an early 80's Ford Thunderbird, hung 50's replica front and rear bumpers on it, painted it a gawdy dark gold, and then wanted 15k for it.
