The cut down version schematic sounds about ideal, IMHO.
You can make it sound really good by carefully choosing your parts and by using point to point wiring instead of a PCB, for instance.
The Guitar amp guys still sell nice black phenolic tag boards with silver plated turrets, just like Marantz used. Great for a DIY project...
Imagine this carefully laid out on a nice enclosure with a thick brushed front panel. You'll have a killer preamp!
