I'm glad to find this fairly current discussion on a topic I'm dealing with right now.
I recently purchased a Marantz PM7000N integrated amp. I was previously using a fairly good Sony 7.2 AV receiver, using a Schiit Mani (not the 2) for my phono preamp.
I'm wondering if the integrated phono amp in the Marantz is likely to be as good as the Mani, or better?
I've tried doing some A-B comparisons, but that's very slow/awkward with the cable swaps, etc.
I plan to do some long term listening comparisons, but am wondering if there is a specs based answer. I don't find specs for the Marantz at all. The specs for the Mani 2 are available on their website (not sure if the original Mani specs are the same).
Thanks,
Greg
