Well, The Technics has a cleaner, introspective presentation to the music whereas the Marantz had that warmth they’re know for at the cost of that clean and open sound that I like.
Providing a cleaner presentation goes hand in hand with layering, soundstage width and depth, air, ambience, that elusive see-through quality, room (that it’s recorded in) contribution also known as venue, etc.
The Technics also beats the Marantz in dynamics, micro and macro, scale, insight, subtlety, and realism. Some might not appreciate these qualities as much as me so YMMV. Having lived with both, I can see why some would prefer the Marantz, if they want everything to sound good, but I feel it would be at the expense of the aforementioned qualities I mentioned.
Granted, some of the differences alone were not that major but taken as a whole, the sum is greater than the parts.
All the best,
