    2226B : crackles when powering on

    You have convinced me to address the power switch. I looked at a few youtube videos and it is definitely arcing noise that I hear, which then settles after a short while. I have the European model (N-type of S001) so it has a different power switch than the US version, and comes with two caps...

    2226B : crackles when powering on

    I have not yet taken any action on the power switch, but I wanted to address a big 'thank you' to everyone who participated in this thread.

    2226B : crackles when powering on

    Hello, Yesterday I picked up my first Marantz, a 2226B from a second hand store. I payed 65 euros with option to return in five days if I am not satisfied. I love the sound, but am fearing it may be defective. I have never restored vintage electronics, so I wonder if I just ought to return it...
