japosey Posted July 17, 2018 Share Posted July 17, 2018 Since loosing a lot of money on a couple of New Receivers in the mid 00's, I've elected to go the 2-3 year old route since. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chriskimer Posted July 19, 2018 Author Share Posted July 19, 2018 carlthess40- came with R & L XLR Diamond from AudioQuest. Chocolate HDMI & Optical Cables as well. So far very happy with setup. I have a question, however, when i turn the volume dial up, it takes a reading of 50-75 (digital readout on Marantz) to produce good sound. It gets loud over 80. Is that normal? Seems high to me to have to get to 50 just to have a low volume? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TasDom Posted July 19, 2018 Share Posted July 19, 2018 Is your receiver pre/pro set to relative or absolute volume? https://www.soundandvision.com/content/‘relative’-vs-‘absolute’-volume-what’s-difference 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

catman0122 Posted July 23, 2018 Share Posted July 23, 2018 (edited) I recommend reaching out to Steve Herrala from this site http://www.soundvideo.com/author/steve-herrala/ . He's one of the largest if not the largest dealer for Marantz. I got an incredible deal from him on a brand new 8802A back in 2016. If I'm not mistaken, he does trade-ins so he may have used stuff as well. Anyway, being the largest dealer gives him ability to provide unique deals. Also has a wealth of info on Marantz. He should be able to help you pin down the right model for your needs at the right price. He's also a regular at AVSforum and goes by SteveH. Good luck! Update: Looks like I missed the part where you already picked up your loot. Well done! Well, advise for anyone else who may be looking into Marantz anyway.
