The Marantz Model 7T was a high-fidelity solid-state stereo preamplifier produced from 1966-1969, known for its excellent sound, precision components, and the famous “Marantz circuit” for its phono stage. It featured a champagne gold faceplate, a hand-wired internal construction, and a unique center channel output designed to enhance early stereo experiences, not for home theater. The 7T is considered a significant piece of Marantz history, offering a “golden age of audio” sound with modern-level performance and a well-regarded MM phono stage.
