| Marantz PM 7001 Integrated Amp I have the previous generation of both units , the PM7200 and SA8260-and I , too , love the sound. Great bang-per-buck and very nice sound quality. | |

| MMF-5 in a Home Theater Setup... The Bellari doesn't have a power switch-just leave it on. Yes , it does sound better after warming up. I'm very happy with mine(matched with a mmf-5se and silver interconnects). The headphone stage in the Bellari is OK , as well. | |

| Esoteric Mods I apologize.That was just plain rude.I am a mechanic and have taken a beating (stress-wise) lately , but that doesn't justify taking it out on Tbg. especially when I think he's right. Again , I apologize for my behavior. | |

| Esoteric Mods Production tolerances can stack up in many different ways.Modding a mass-produced item frequently means just building it to the blueprint. True in a lot of areas outside audio, as well. :) |
