Marantz trumping a Rega is not quite an Art thing....
This was not an Apollo-R though, right?
Art, have you ever owned any Luxman products?
That's sexy!! I'm a Lux junkie. Trying to build my collection. So far have an L-5 with a T-2, a L-400 with a T-240, a R-117, a R-115, A M-117 (my first baby), And now am the proud owner of a 5E24 output meter, And finally my prized B-12 mono blocks. So if it doesn't meet your expectations, pm me.
I can't wait for you to get this to try out. When do you expect it to show up? Don''t forget the pictures.
