I am glad you are having good results with streaming Tidal.

The Marantz SA-11S2 (which I have) can be significantly improved by replacing the main power fuse.

It takes a small, slow blow, 2.5 amp fuse. Fuse is inside the unit. You take the cover off to get to the fuse.

David, thanks for the tip. What brand of fuse do you like in there (if I may momentarily divert the thread)?

I do like the Synergistic Research Black fuse the best - highest price. Their original Synergistic Research Sr-20 also does improve the sound. The Black comes with a 30 day trial (not sure if you can trial the SR-20).

High End Electronics , Apple Valley Calif., and The Cable Company, New Hope , Pen. are both on line sellers. Give either a call.

Enjoy.

Is it just me, or are the newer releases on Tidal way superior sounding to the older titles (say 80's music).
