    2230 FM exhibits annoying raspiness

    Hi, all. I found a 2230 in a nearby town for an incredible price, and it's almost perfect except for two dial lights. I'm truly astonished by the fullness of the sound into KLH Sixes, which I thought only possible with tubes. I even began thinking about selling my beloved little Magnavox...

    Marantz 2230 Custom Wood Cabinet

    Here’s a photo of a homemade housing I’m working on for my Marantz that I found in the trash last summer, believe it or not. It’s roughed out at the moment. I intend to replace the original grill, which is flimsy, with something more substantial. I am considering using a light coloured veneer...

    Happened Again-2230 Added to the Family

    After telling myself that I really didn’t “need” anymore receivers now, and I should save for Xmas and a Disneyland trip in December……….a Marantz alert came across my phone. “Marantz Reciever $150.” Well, it doesn’t hurt to look. It was a 2230. The ad said it was working. The pics weren’t the...

    Rotel 991? Opinions?

    What's up folks? I've got a chance to buy a Rotel RB 991 (200 wpc) for $395. Anyone have any experience or opinions about this amp? I currently have a Marantz 2230 and a Sansui 881 and would most likely use one of those as a preamp to the Rotel to drive some Infinity CS-3008'S. There's also a...

    This 2230 P150 C183 was factory installed per marked polarity

    "Everybody" knows that the 2230 P150 C183 capacitor polarity is marked incorrectly on the board. And that a replacement capacitor should be installed the reverse of the markings. This applies to the P150 board on several models. This is how the cap is usually installed from the factory: But...

    I scored a nice 2230 and had it recapped and restored about a year ago. I'd love to find a great pair of speakers to match with it for family room listening. Looking through older threads there are a lot of vintage speakers that come highly recommended such as the dynaco A25's. I've been...

    Comparison: Pioneer HPM-100 vs. Dynaco A25 with Marantz 2230

    Currently have Dynaco A25's with my Marantz 2230, they sound great but i'd like a little more volume/bass clarity. I am curious if the HPM-100 would work well with the 2230, or if they will harm the receiver?

    I have a 2230 with an open secondary. It is the pair going to the rectifier. There is power to the lights and the power supply. I'd like to fix rather than replace this transformer if possible. I see that some (all?) 2230 transformers have a thermal fuse. But would that affect only a single...

    2230 with high distortion

    I have a newly rebuilt 2230. It is a clean receiver and the rebuild went smoothly. Until distortion testing. The Total Harmonic Distortion measures high in both channels. The spec calls for <0.5% THD. This receiver exceeds that by the time it is putting out 2 volts per channel. At 15.5v (30w) it...
