i have heard the marantz 7 sa1 in three different stereo systems, as well as have communicated with a marantz owner, as i was considering purchasing one myself.
i decided against it because it has too much resolution. the gentlemen who had the marantz bought an amr77. i am looking into that one as well.
the marantz requires more than 300 hours of break-in, according to the owners of this player i have spoken to.
i would not worry about interconnects. your dartzeel amp and pre should be sufficient to provide all the resolution you might need. this player is not romantic or forgiving of "poor recordings".
