New Marantz Model 30


Wow--I'm not even in the market for a SS integrated but this thing looks great aesthetically and feature-wise.  Has anyone heard and operated the unit?  It might be perfect for a bar I'm refurbishing.

Mine arrived in early February and quit reading sacd’s last Thursday (April 29th). Help from Sound United has proven challenging. The 60 day return window is closed and now I’m left to send it to an authorized service center.

It’s sad to me that my 7, 8b, 10b and even my 19 continue to deliver 5 decades on and this lasts less than 3 months.

Until it started acting up, it sounded great to me. Even redbook cd’s sounded decidedly better to me, granted my last player was an ancient Nakamichi (that still functions flawlessly).

It appealed to me as an elegant solution for adding streaming and Bluetooth, in addition to spinning discs, to my vintage home system. So much so, that I’ve just purchased another to tide me over while this one gets repaired. Perhaps I’ll gift the older one to my son.
I’m curious if anyone else has experienced a similar problem?

thrive!
