Marantz SC-7S2 review
The SC-7S2 thoroughly updates the distinctive voice of the original Marantz
Model 7 preamplifier and further improves on the acclaimed SC-7S1. This
work of art defines new horizons in both musical performance and
contemporary elegance. It is an enduring testament to the synergy of
today’s technologies with frequency response and channel separation
far exceeding conventional requirements.The SC-7S2 achieves these goals
with a fully balanced current-feedback topology and a power supply based on
a aluminum-encased toroid power transformer, Shottky barrier rectifier
diodes, and low-ESR electrolytic storage capacitors for optimal power
conditioning and distribution. Each input is fully buffered with
Marantz-developed discrete circuitry for accurate signal transfer. Four
Wolfson WM8816 high-precision multi-gang volume controls and 12
Marantz-proprietary HDAM-SA modules form an incredibly precise attenuation
circuit fully capable of 0.5 dB resolution throughout its entire 100 dB
range. Although the SC-7S2 is devoutly two-channel, it acknowledges
multi-channel music with a floating bus (our F.C.B.S.) that allows you to
control multiple units simultaneously for exciting multi-channel
reproduction of any source. The copper-plated aluminum chassis provides
exceptional dimensional stability while copper and steel sub-members offer
isolation from radio frequency (RF) and electromagnetic interferences
(EMI). Adjustable muting and trim let you tailor the SC-7S2 to your
preferences. You can turn off the display to totally reduce potential
distractions. And a Marantz system remote control lets you enjoy the
SC-7S2’s exceptional performance from your favorite listening/viewing
location. For operational and technical assistance 24/7, use our self help
