Hi all, i have a 2225 model. Some time ago I changed almost all electrolytic capacitors with elna silmic ii, and it sounded great(even i didn't compare with the stocks caps, since i replaced the caps shortly after i got the marantz).
But there were a few caps i didn't change at first(in the pre-tone board), and i did it now. a couple of 1 uf 50V(close to the equalized signal that goes to the power amp board), a pair of 4.7 uf and a pair of 33 uf. I turn up the receiver and how it sounds? : a complete veiled sound, lost a lot of detail on the highs, the soundstage and ambience was bad too, even a lepai ta2020 which used to be kick-assed by the marantz it's sounding better now .
This is kind of normal with the elnas? they need some break-in time? How long would it be? I'm really tempted to put the old caps again, but i would like to know if i should wait a little longer. What are your experiences with the elnas? Thanks for any advice
