Japanese Audio???

... Marrantz has products from the entry level all the way to the high end and so does Denon. Most of your British, German,or American companies sell products in the entry level or the high end not both. I personally think this turns some of the high end guys off because they want to run products that are made by companies that when people see them they know that they are not garden variety pieces of equipment and that gives them a much more exotic appeal...

Well...I'm sure there is some "bragging rights" or "exclusivity" factor associated with it. But the likes of Krell, Levinson, McIntosh do sound really good.

Did someone say that the Japanese cannot make high end? I don't know about that one:

I know that looks aren't everything, but I bet it sounds "okay".

On the Pre-Amp, the power section has been separated to reduce any potential noise factors.
