Marantz PM-75
Little is documented about the Marantz PM-75. In fact, almost everything attributed to it comes from a single Hifi Engine comparison table that pairs it with the Marantz CD-75SE — and even that source appears to be describing the closely related PM-75E variant rather than the PM-75 proper.
What the record shows: the PM-75E was compared against the Marantz PM-74 in a Hifi Engine listing that explicitly noted "no similarities" between the two models. The same source lists power figures for the PM-75E, though with an internal conflict — one row gives 80W stereo, another gives 100W at 8Ω and 1kHz. Given the contradiction and the absence of any corroborating documentation, it would be irresponsible to state either figure as definitive.
Beyond that single comparison entry, nothing else survives. The Audio (May 1974, p.78) issue that appears in the record contains only classified advertising pages — no review or mention of this model.
This is one of those cases where the archive's honest entry is also its shortest. If you own a PM-75 or have seen one in the flesh, the record would benefit from your knowledge.
