Where the Model 10’s phono stage is lacking is in that ethereal sense of depth and layering that only the best phono stages can deliver. A case in point is the 2018 remixed version of Pink Floyd’s Animals (Pink Floyd Records PFRLP28), which just drips with ambience and hallucinogenic fever. While the Model 10’s phono stage still projected the barking dogs midway through with a good sense of wraparound, it couldn’t keep up with the Mola Mola’s miles-deep-yet-still-behind-you presentation. Still, pulling the trigger on the volume and sitting back while “Dogs” washed over me was a luxurious pleasure via the Marantz. The very slightly laid-back character of the Model 10’s phono stage meshed extremely well with the amp’s incisive, detailed nature.
