Post #527 is my final parts list for the 2220B refurb.
If you do not feel like going through 20+ pages here is a list were the results are:
Post numbers: 18, 24, 35, 36, 40, 90, 163, 170, 221, 263, 276, 278, 282, 305, 320, 323.
Ok, I have been wanting to do this for a while, and have finally gotten around to it. I will be replacing the caps in my other Marantz 2220B, P/S board. I have on order the following:
Panasonic FC- the old stand by
Elna Silmic II-Seems to be the favorite but we will see
Elna Cerafine-Said to sound very close to Black Gates, got my interest
Nichicon KZ- Could be the sleeper here
Will rate each set of installed caps in 7 areas:
Bass
Midrange
Treble
Are they smooth and tube like or to the solid state side
Sound Stage: width and depth
Low level/inner detail
Rhythm and drive
Will probably get my order from Digi-Key first so probably the FC and Silmic getting here 1st.
Will update as things progress, want to get to the bottom of which really is the best sounding capacitor for the Classic Marantz Receivers.
