Are the 2285 and 2330 the Best Built Marantz Receivers?

Are the 2285 and 2330 non-B receivers the best built Marantz Receivers? IMO, the 2285 is better than the 2285B because it has dual heat sinks and the filter caps are single core rather than the dual core caps in the B. This is also the same rationale for picking the 2330 over the 2330B, 2385, and higher models.

After having several dozen other Marantz models it really is hard to say "the best". I would more apply say it in the upper league. The 2330 is more in line with the separates in sound quality.

Again the caveat is most of these units are in need of some restoration for a more proper comparision. Mine is on the restoration list by - you guessed it - Tom! That's how much I like this unit.
