Marantz CD-330 Inside

The Marantz CD-330 has an extremely compact construction, and removing the top half of the case provides access to some of the components. The wires are very short and permanently soldered which makes servicing very difficult. It is a high-density compact construction on single sided PCB using conventional components; as a result, there are bundles of wires connecting different sub-systems together.
