When they were in production (the 7T) I owned 1 with a McIntosh C24 and a Mattes along with a Hadley. Of the group, the Mattes showed the others up as works in progress needing significant improvement. The Marantz was in 2nd position but it could not hold up a candle to a 7 nor any of the Mc tube amps. At that time even a new PAS3x was better but b/c of the design and component quality a stock 3x today I'd bet today would only best a 7T if the 7T needed major work.The 7T unbeknownst to Marantz lovers at the time proved to be their best preamp design for several generations and for some it was not bettered until the Esotec units came out.
