CiteerUnder the magnifying glass, there is NOTHING AT ALL that deviates from the Marantz. Not one smallest cap or resistor. No blackgates, no proprietary soft, it is a Marantz.
Not look alike.
Not similar,
Not "based on Marantz"
It IS A MARANTZ. Period.
(well, minus 90 % of the buttons and functions.)
It reacts of course to Philips standard remote, so no proprietary servo here as well. Not even a superclock.
Does it mean that it is bad - no, on the contrary, it is a hell of a transport. But just fitting the alu face plate does not justify the 5x price difference. They could have done better.

CiteerOverall, this is one of the best transports in existence, probably the VRDS machines do not sound better, and even if they do - the VRDS/Sony parts are impossible to find as spares. This WT3200 is easy to repair and it should work forever. Of course - they need a belt service every 10 years or so, as every CDM1 transport. The Marantz 95 which it really is - is cheaper and better looking, but it will not be a Wadia. So your snobbish part will want Wadia anyway. Considering all pros and cons - it is a winner. Just be careful - how much you will pay. If you already have it - keep it !
