    It's usually the excitement of the journey that gets me.....  with Crohn's, you find you're just merrily driving down the highway....  pull in to fill up on gas...  no big deal....pull out on highway and within 2-miles, are in a panic to get to the next bathroom which.....could be 20-30 miles to the next exit....
     
    (I cover 10 counties for work so drive about 2,000 miles/month....  believe me....this happens)
     
    I just don't know if I could trust a trip that long.  Heck, I don't even go out on the boat anymore.
     
    Guess that makes me a real party pooper!!

    Sorry to hear about Crohn’s. My wife has it, and I understand your situation all too well.

    Regardless of how nice it looks, I highly recommend you have the unit serviced and re-capped.  It is definitely due for an update.  Nice Marantz by the way!


    Thanks@jimjimbo! I had that Marantz serviced by our friend at Stereo Rehab. Funny thing is I also took in my HK 430, and he said he didn’t want to take my money because it wasn’t a quality enough receiver to spend the $$ updating. I disagreed, but didn’t argue, so I took it back and will look to update both the 430 and 730 someplace else that won’t cost as much.

    Tidal versus Spotify Premium

    What is the source from which you are playing your music?

    You won’t get hd sound from an iPhone, for instance, unless you connect a dac that can do hi-Rez, like a dragonfly audio red, which is what I use. I can certainly hear a difference between Amazon HD and Spotify premium. Main thing is the clarify difference.

    Crites A55-G midrange drivers

    Drivers arrived yesterday and were extremely well packaged. I installed one so I could hear the difference from the k55-V on my Khorns. It was noticeably smoother and much easier to listen to, definitely a more open and clear sounding driver.

    I first used my main stereo, the Marantz 2325, then switched over to the Oppo 105 used as a pre to my McIntosh MC250 amp, and the difference with this combo was even more noticable. The MC250 sounded much more tube-like than before. I fired up the Dire Straits Communique record, and the midrange sound was better than I’ve ever heard!

    Thank you@Shakeydeal for a smooth transaction and the perfect packaging job you did. I am very happy with these A55-g drivers!
