Hi All,

for sale is my Maratnz Ki Ruby. Limited edition designed by the legendary Ken Ishiwata before he died.


Most people on Higiwigam will have heard about the Signature Ruby series. For those who want more details , here is some info:

There were only 1000 produced to commemorate Marantz 40th anniversary partnership with Ken , who sadly passed away recentky.

It has been one the joys of my life. Selling it as I have moved my hifi to the loft and need room correction . As such have bought a Arcam SA30 and as such sadly letting this go. Had to spends hrs deciding if I could keep both but finally had to let go.

Outstanding amplifier. This is a piece of art . Just have to see the packing, the remote etc.

I am not really in need of cash but pricing it to see it go to someone who can treasure this as I have done .

Brand new is 4000 as listed on the Maratnz website . I am listing this for 1800 for quick sale on this forum.

This is made in Japan. Full copper chassis. Ken and marantz threw everything at this. Just the binding posts will wow you .

Soundstage and tone is so good you will forget this is a class D .


Note : Except for a very minor blemish Its in great condition. The blemish is hardly visible but in the interest of transparency stating it upfront. You can see it above the volume knob. Unless someone showed this you couldn't see it but mentioning this . Been a 5 star private seller of hifi since ages and always keep my transactions honest. If you zoom the top view and front view you can see. Remote has the usual usage wear and tear . Again pictures are added.

Genuine buys , please ping me . I will only sell to people who have decent reviews

Location is Reading, UK

Looks super. Is the mark above the LH knob, as that’s the Input selector? The Volume is on the right.

GLWS!

Is it ridiculous to ask if you’ve got the matching player that you might want to sell?
hi have the Marantz Sacd 30n , it's got streaming as well :) they are the same but tuned by a different master - I coudnt tell the difference. so the Sacd30n is on sale as well.

You should amend your profile, it says in trade, or get the mods to change it.

Adverts need to have the location.

Where is the location, please? I assume the price is in £s?

You are in the HiFi trade?
Hi there yes prices is in pounds - have amended the thread to show the location -I coudnt find any field for location though, so just added it to the description. This is bought from Jordan Accoustics, full warranty for 5 years in 2020. not sure if it is transferrable though. you need to check.

Looks like someone has amended your profile already, for you. Your profile now has Reading as your location, so you won't need to put that on any future adverts.
