RE: Marantz 8B In Stereophile

I think you're being a little unfair. While I agree that reviewing an unrestored amp does not reflect how the amp sounded fresh from the factory, if they clearly described the amp as unrestored then it is simply a point of information.

They should follow up with a restoraton--all original type parts, replacing all electrolytic capacitors and out of spec components, but no upgraded capacitors or resistors, and no topology changes. That would be a totally fair--and more useful--review.
