Marantz Reference Model SC-7S2 Stereo Preamplifier. In excellent condition, working perfectly and includes everything. This was part of a Marantz second generation Reference System with an original retail price of $8000.00 in 2010. Cost was no object for this Flagship preamp developed with their best engineering expertise - meticulously hand-built in Japan. It is stunningly beautiful and pictures don't do it justice! I have all the original boxes with matching serial number, original metal remote control, original owners's manual, power cord, and both original inner and outer shipping boxes and packing materials for safe travels. It’s hard to find an imperfection anywhere on this preamp. It’s pristine everywhere. If you want to nit-pick, with a magnifying glass, there’s a tiny nick on the top panel -hardly even noticeable - see 3 sets of top-plate pictures. Last top plate pic #16 has close up - good luck seeing it. That is the only mark I can find on this unit. This is one of the cleanest examples you will find. I just don’t use the system it was from much anymore so have reluctantly decided to part with it. Feel free to look up the reviews. In one review, this was some of the comments; “They are some of the most beautiful components I've had in my listening room. and The Preamp is the Jewel. While I found the overall level of performance very high in the Marantz (Reference) System, the component that stood out for me in the stack was the SC-72 Reference Control Amplifier. The $8,000-$10,000 range is highly competitive, and as much as I love tubes, I'm always on the lookout for a world-class preamplifier that doesn't require glass bottles. I'd put the Marantz on my list of top preamplifiers, offering a big, expansive sound, with a delicacy that rarely exists in the Marantz SC7-S2 Preamplifier in excellent working and cosmetic condition. Beautiful detailed and transparent sound.
