Another one of those size-perspective things here.....

The small marantz is one of my favorites. But who knew that it's really dwarfed by that Fort Knox thingey. :w00t: :-D
Even have sort of a similar look to it from the topside. With the meters and dial. :hmmm:

Hows the sound? Hows everything? :w00t:

Really? No cover? Is that standard for that model? I kinda like that idea :-)

lots of the $$ pro style pioneer decks had no covers = :cool:

oh i'm sure this box was around before the vz 2000 prolly was modeled after it or just the basic layout was used in the vz 2000 . i'm also sure that box is a lot nicer than any other turntable box i ever saw , the controls are just sick and easily rival those found on the studio 1and other high end boxes .

as for if i would mod that box :hmmm: hell no :lol: .
