Marantz 3300 - Fanboy issues, buyer beware.....

Buy a Hafler 100 preamp instead. Less expensive and much better sound. Then you can buy a Hafler 200 amp. I have this combination I bought for $300 from a local seller. Good stuff!

Those old Marantz solid state units from the 70's aren't worth the exorbitant prices some are asking. Instead, the tube gear that was built and sold when Saul Marantz owned the company is definitely collectible -  the model 7 preamp and models 8 and 9 amps.

szeidman2002: I agree with your pairing! That Advent receiver - who remembers it today? - is a gem! It's pre-out made it quite versatile! Add the excellent phono stage - still competitive today! - and you have one of the best bargains in audio.
