Newport Test Labs measured the output voltage of the Marantz SA-12SE as 1.9950 volts from the left channel and 1.9952 volts from the right channel, a very healthy voltage that will be more than sufficient for any ancillary components.
As you can see from the closeness of these two voltages, the balance of the left and right channels is exceptionally good, one of the best results I can remember seeing, such that the channel balance is 0.001dB. This would not only be totally imperceptible, but is also well within measurement error limits for this particular test.
Channel separation was not quite in the same
