Dear Cyrus,
Sure, I can share my experience with you.
Almost everything comes with the Package; Transformer, Delay output unit, tubes, capacitors, resisotrs ....
Items not included: On/Off switch, Case, Volume control, wiring (mine is pure silver). The RCA sockets and the Balance output socket comes with the case. The cover of the case (Entry100) has NO holes drilled! Be aware of this.
I did changed the CAPACITORS of the pre-amp. Very common ones and I used Auricaps. You can for sure find those in "Hoi Wan" down in 558 Nathan Road or so. Changing ALL the caps will cost you around HK$ 900.
I changed them because my colleague (who is the owner of this M7C now) would like to have more BASS.
You can order the whole thing from www.my3c.net. One word of reminder. Another active member said this set of Marantz 7C is not the best around as the voltage is a bit low. However, for just under HK$ 2000 with everything for a DIYer, it is worth as a beginner project.
Hope this helps.
