DIY Marantz 7C

Dear alfcat,

Just noticed that the website is from Taiwan, is the price listed also for New Taiwan Dollar?  Can you advise how much have you paid for the whole package including mailing fee, if any?

Dear alfcat,

The price is really attractive.  Thanks again.

Hi Alfcat,

Are the components you used (Holco/Dale resistors, WIMA/BHC capacitors, the transformer, etc) came with the package?  If not, where can you buy all those components?  Are they all matched with the circuit?  Is there any odd value resistor (e.g. 82K) that you can't find?  If true, can you share how you resolve this?

Best rgds,

Thanks much, alfcat.

Hi alfcat,

Really wanna get 1 but I want to attend a pre-amp training from Hifi Fever first, cos I know nothing about building an amplifier.  As you know, the PCB and Schematic won' tell you how to connect wires from/to transformer, RCA sockets, volume controls, selectors etc..., that's part of the amplifier.  After I gained the experience, I'll try to build 1 by myself.

That sounds good, can't wait to have my own one!!!

Thanks to Alfcat and Accphoto.  

I'm planning to join the pre-amp course, do you recommend any models other than Marantz 7?  They are now offering AudioNote M7, ARC LS-7, Conrad Johnson PV-3, Marantz 7, GG and 禾田茂氏.

Hi all C Hing,

Would like to know what is CRC and CLC.

Oh I see, thanks.
