MARANTZ PM7000N 🖤 Present & Future

[@AudioElectronicsChicago]

a good one, I love these slim versions

[@shaunyweaver1144]

The plastic cover is a heat requirement . This amplifier has great sound the heos app sounds great although its not featured and as slick as others . It goes really well with Dali speakers and Monitor Audio . Thanks for the review . The software has recently been updated and there are no issues . now .

Thanks for sharing your experience

Im REALLY happy I found this channel. 🥰 A tip in all friendliness an well meaning. All "bookshelfs" will sound noteably better with a sub making the work that no 6,5 incher is able to, especially not if they in the same time are going to bloom out fully in the mids. With a sub you will win both tone and 3D, ability. Yamaha. NS-SW300 is a SUB that have a adjustable built in low/highpass filter. Cheers and thanks for taking us on this journey,, 🍻😎👍‍‍👍‍‍

[@DigitalPhilosophers]

Thank you! I really appreciate it

[@Patricia-kk8tr]

I have huge REL stadium sub with my tower speakers just for vocal presence and those deep bass notes. Same amp copes with efficient towers very well

Againts to pm8006...which is good??despite the network feature

[@thebest-ford]

I like it too

[@diegocanale1124]

Marantz means quality! i have the smaller sibling Melody X. If had more room I'd get one of these plus marantz CD player 6007 in heartbeat! PS: i use Dali speakers with my system.

[@jeambeam9788]

i cant decide if its worth to get the model 40n. But i feel like they are more or less the same and the newer model is just a waste of money.

[@DigitalPhilosophers]

If hdmi is important for you it the 40n might be worth it. If I had to decide I would listen to both at home using my speakers cables etc. Is there a better way to compare both?

[@veeman129]

Can you compare this to the vincent sv500? Which do you prefer?

[@c1listhencs968]

Elac DS-A101-G oder lieber den Marantz PM 7000N vllt auch den neuen Stereo 70s von Marantz für einen Einsteiger ? Es sollen zwei Accuton Regallautsprecher betrieben werden LG

[@DigitalPhilosophers]

@@c1listhencs968 I can only decide between the first two from first hand experience and imo the 7000N sounds much better than the A-101

[@Waldrapp78]

Are you happy with the Elac's? I own the Carina BS 243.4 and I'm wondering if they fit the pm700n?

[@DigitalPhilosophers]

I guess they do. The Carina is amazing in my opinion. So is the 7000. Edit: I have no doubt the 7000 has enough power to drive the Carina and to make it sound lush and lively with a detailed jet smooth treble

[@zambination11]

No Asahi Kasei AK4490 DAC chip on this model anymore, but a much cheaper DAC implementation

[@gordyomolaiye7785]

You really don’t know that, do you?

[@zambination11]

@@gordyomolaiye7785 According to Marantz, "All units with the serial # ending in 70001 or higher have the TI SR6015, SR7015 AND SR8015 DAC" Also in Marantz official site there is no mention for AK dac anymore, Also research on KZbin and Google about it. So, sorry to disappoint you but i really do know that, like many other people know about that, and now, so do you! Peace

Do you still have or use the Sugden A21SE? how does this compare?

[@DigitalPhilosophers]

Not any more. The Sugden is a few steps above in terms of tonality and imaging. Especially the tonality is superb. Instruments sound very natural. Vocals sound very natural. And separation between all of the elements on the soundstage is superior too. I wish it had all the streaming and app bells and whistles the PM7000N has.

[@leo11877]

How does this compare to the Arcam Music Solo?

[@DigitalPhilosophers]

The Arcam sounds more lush This one is more transparent I would pair them with different speakers: A thin sounding speaker with an Arcam amp. A too dark sounding speaker with the PM7000N

[@leo11877]

Is the volume displayed on the screen or knob?

[@devarsiratdas1425]

Hallo can anyone tell me please. I have a question regarding the Marantz pm7000n The output of my LG g7 phone via uapp is up to 24bit X 192khz I connect my phone to the pm7000n via cable because I use Qobuz and that's not in Heos. I use an RCA to 3.5mm cable adapter from the headphone jack to connect the RCA (red and white) end to one of the Audio inputs on the back of the PM7000n. That is under AUX settings. But I just found out from the user manual that THE DAC IS ONLY USED WHEN USING THE OPTICAL/ COAXIAL CONNECTIONS AND IT CAN ONLY REACH A MAXIMUM OF 192KHZ 24BITS BUT ONLY IF THE EXTERNAL SOURCE I HAVE CONNECTED INTO THE OPTICAL/ COAXIAL PORT IS CAPABLE OF 192KHZ 24 BIT. It doesn't mention phone audio connection IAM surprised that It says that THE DAC ONLY SWITCHES ON AND IS USED if anOptical/ Coaxial port is used. Otherwise it doesn't. I only just bought the amp and this isn't mentioned on any website and wasnt said by any sales person I spoke with. So iam quiet disappointed about this after spending over £600. I made lots of research b4hand and no one told me this, neither is it written anywhere on websites. Also NON of the streaming services EXCEPT Amazon, will Output up to 24bit 192khz VIA HEOS. QUESTION IF ANYONE KNOWS PLEASE. Because of the Dac not being switched on.... is an external cable output of 24bit 192khz into one of the inputs of the Amp a simple passing trough of 24bit 192khz or is it reduced to a lower quality? This info is so hidden that I only found out after a week and then talking with a Marantz person asking questions. Are all inputs at the back of the Amp configured for 24bit 192khz ? Or are they restricted like a normal Android phone? Many thanks Dev

[@DigitalPhilosophers]

A good external DAC will sound better than the built in one inside the 7000 but I don’t know how good the G7 ones is.

[@johndoe-vb9sm]

Great vid. Just wanna ask. Do you miss your old Technics sug700?

[@DigitalPhilosophers]

Thank you! The only reason I don’t miss the Technics is me listening at low volumes. The Technics comes alive at louder volumes. Then it shines with transparency, neutrality and control. This Marantz and other toroidal transformer amps like the Arcams or Audiolabs I had/have sound much fuller and clearer at low volumes. So if you listen at rather high volumes the Technics sound is remarkable and might be to your liking

[@mohammedalomari1998]

Thanks for your great channel and reviews How you compare this to Sugden and Rotel and Arcam? Kind regards and best wishes

[@DigitalPhilosophers]

Hi, the Sugden is in its own league. Its tonal purity and instrument separation in soundstage width and depth is remarkably better than other amps here. I would pick the PM7000N over the Rotel A14 I had. Both are more neutral than the Arcam Solo Music MKII and the SA20. Out of the last 4 I would pick Arcam only if the speaker needs Arcams lush and warm sound signature. Otherwise I would pick this PM7000N since it does everything right and is the most optically pleasing too. The Sugden needs to be compared to other amps like my current Unico Primo by Unison Research. I will upload a video about that amazing amp soon

[@mohammedalomari1998]

@@DigitalPhilosophers Thanks again I have another question please, Do you consider Sudgen warm amp or neutral? Thanks again and kind regards and best wishes

[@DigitalPhilosophers]

@@mohammedalomari1998 since it is not clinical at all I said warm. In fact it is neutral. I would describe it as lush neutrality

[@anlemcsa132]

I don't believe you 😄

[@anlemcsa132]

I haven't heard the PM7000N, but I think it's the PM6007 with the Heos. I had a PM6007 and a PMA-9000HNE which was even worse, although I liked the Heos. They were all bullshit before I got the PM8006. It's the op-amps in the PM8006 and my DAC (class-a op-amps) that produce so much detail and air that you can shovel them into a bucket. I'm not talking about musicality, just detail and air. *PS The PM8006 without its preamp sounds like a simple D-class.

[@earlyetman5588]

What do you think of the PM7000N compared to the Arcam SA20?

[@DigitalPhilosophers]

I can only recall from memory. I have no doubt both amps are for different speakers. The 7000 adds more detail while the Arcam sounds fuller due to its upper bass lower mids presence
