Sorry jp I have missed your question about update. After the second service receiver worked well for couple months and the problems started to come back little by little again. Sound was dropping out randomly with stereo music, small static sound randomly from speakers and movie sound track recognizion problems randomly after CD listening.
We met with the importer week ago in local audio shop and I brought my SR7008 with me there and talked for quite a bit about the problems with my unit and I also showed him video clip from my phone about the problems I had. As the Digital Assembly Card had been replaced twice already and the same issues still happened he decided to go with warranty replacement so I left my SR7008 for him and yesterday received SR7010. I must say that I'm really satisfied about the Marantz warranty as they really seem to care about their customers and want to keep them happy!
So I have now setup the SR7010 and so far I'm impressed about the small updates it have here and there that makes the receiver even better than the SR7008. It even came with a leaning tower of Pisa (a
cardboard microphonestand for calibration mic) that made the calibration a lot easier as I dont have a microphonestand myself. Small but nice feature if you ask from me! I hope this unit has no faults and will last for years to come.
