One thing j do know, and better then half the people do not.
Having been directly involved in modding my equipment.and owning a Audio store I speak from facts. Less then 25% of the cost actually goes into the cost of mtg,
Everything else is overhead and at least 45% dealer markup. Meaning the internal parts are at best average ,until you start spending over $10k it is just a fact if life
In electronics thst is why Modwrigh t Audio,red wine and others have been so successfully better parts quality in key locations .I have 20 years of this my whole system us built with synergy ,not $$ in mind ,thst being said
Quality capacitors,resistors, all cost$$ a that too goes for wiring ,controls ,
Marana is not what Marantz once was .hand built Vacuum tube made in USA.
Even they have several 3-4 price quality groupings like Copper chassis these bits and more are in the $$4k and up grouping. You get what you pay for ,usually.
