Sale on Marantz PM Ki Ruby Integrated!

I'm not sure about the Class D. I have not heard a Class D amp yet. Isn't there now a Class G?

I just ordered a Pathos Classic Remix (based on the Classic One). This Marantz is now in the similar price class as the Remix and Classic One.

@analogj , Yes, there is also Class G.  It's been around for a long time but not so popular.  I had a Creek that ran the first twenty watts in Class A then moved over to switching--a Class G design.  It was super strong and I loved it. 

I've had two Class D amps. Both sound super clear and had gobs of power.  The body of the music was a bit thin though.  The technology has surely changed. I'm excited to try this one from Marantz. And I'm a tube head!

The Ruby arrived today. 

Opening the box was something special in itself.  The packaging is nicely done with attention to detail.  I knew I was in for a treat. 

This is not some mid-fi integrated. Not by packaging, looks, feel, or sound.  I'm impressed.  I'll hold off on subjective sound opinions for a bit while it breaks in and I get used to it. 

Let's just say I'm going to be up in my music room with a bottle of bourbon all night!

Good for you. Definitely let us know your impressions when you get a few miles on it. 

Congrats and enjoy the bourbon. Sipping on some Jefferson Reserve right now myself…🥃
