first I just want to so thanks for all the worm welcomes and help you guys have been giving me, your great, this site is such a big help to me, im learning so much.
Anyway on to my question, I just got a Marantz 2220B, northing has been replaced on it except the bulbs a I did a full cleaning inside and out. My plans for this marantz was to replace my Sony STR 2015 and I was happy with the marantz until I used my turntable(Realistic Lab-420) The sound quality is just not as good as my little Sony. The marantz just doesn't sound as clean and clear, I was always told how amazing sounding vintage Marantz was so Could it be that the marantz needs to be recapped or I need to clean the phono connections or something? Does anyone know if the Sony phono stage is better then the marantz? what do you guys think of the phono on the lower wattage marantz? Do I just need to have this marantz fully serviced or is this normal for a marantz?
