I love this Marantz!

[Glen B]

Awhhh Glen B...that system is a thing of beauty! I wonder why Marantz does that with the connections? But at the same time, if you know how to do it...what is so bad about exterminating one end of your interconnecting cable?

(1) I just don't care to reconfigure my expensive factory-terminated Acoustic Zen ICs just to accommodate one brand of preamp. (2) I would need to reterminate the cables a second time if I ever needed to connect to another brand preamp.

Actually, I would sooner reverse the connections in the preamp, but there is the issue of voiding the warranty if I should need service. I have modded many out of warranty and vintage components, so working on them is not an issue for me.

Here you go Glen...no warranty.
