Marantz PM8003 2-Channel Amplifier

If the Marantz PM8003 were a boxer and not an integrated amplifier, it would automatically top the “best pound-for-pound” ratings. That’s because it possesses a rare combination of power and finesse that results in totally fulfilling music reproduction. From its elegant appearance to its refined circuitry, the PM8003 is convincing to listen to and convenient to use. In short, it’s simply another Marantz legend in the making.

Few components can boast the refined array of circuit innovation hidden in the PM8003� s chassis. All devoted to one goal � more natural music reproduction � they grew naturally from Marantz� s long history of sonic excellence. At the beginning, Marantz engineers specified a power supply based on a large toroid transformer to control stray magnetic fields. They insisted on custom capacitors that efficiently stored and released energy to all circuits as needed. The circuits themselves? A careful amalgam of both thoroughly proven and promising new topologies. Parts selection? Not only the best under laboratory test conditions but also the best after careful evaluation by the most critical instrument of all � the human ear. In both the preamp and power amp sections, the PM8003 uses fully-discrete, high speed current feedback circuits for minimal phase shift and better detail resolution. Even the phono input, normally a low quality after-thought in some competitor� s offerings, is a
