Nice collection Sam.

I have a 2325 with woodcase and a 6300 TT.

In the past I've had:

2270
2265

The 2325 is a keeper for now.

The only Marantz I've had was a 2330 and a Model 140. I loved that power amp.

I've always wanted a Marantz 2285B. It is considered by many to be the best sounding receiver and I have to agree. I had the pleasure of comparing one back to back with my 2500 and the 2285B was sweeter.

Anyways, I've been selling off a bunch of stuff this week so I decided to pull the trigger on this:

I believe Marantz and Superscope is the same brand and I would love to have the Superscope PSD 340.

I would use it for rehearsing my own musical skills on trumpet, guitar and piano.
But I would also use it for copying CD's if it does it in higher quality than my Roland Boss BR-1200 CD.

Very cool Sam. Looks like a fair price.

Do let us know how it sounds when you get it.

I had been chasing Marantz receivers locally until I went into receiver-overload. I saw a few, but they were always beat to snot, and the lower models. So my score is : 0
