Marantz

SA 11s2 owner here. good to see some discussion of how to make the unit sound better. I will be trying the main fuse replacement shortly. One reminder - check your filter setting. Mine was somehow set to three, probably for a long time. I went back to one and found more clarity and a more natural bass response out of my ProAc D15's. 

Which fuses do I replace once I get the lid off

Not Audioquest, but Darwin Ascension ICs and Zu Audio Event (series I) SCs. It's the best sound I've gotten out of it so far.

All the best,
Nonoise

jafant asked:

any of you using Audioquest cabling w/ your Marantz spinners?

Which models? Happy Listening!

Yes.  I went thru a trial and error interval for ICs (various MIT, AQ, and Kimber) for my Marantz KI Pearl and settled on a used set of AQ Jaguars as the "goldilocks" choice.
