    Marantz 2230B with NAD CD Player Doesn't Sound right

    Hey there, Recently bought a NAD C538 CD player and hooked up to my Marantz 2230B that I've been using for last 10 years. Tried the Aux and both Tape Inputs. All of them sounded fine until the bass kicked in and is distorted and blown out on majority of CDs (it's not a speaker issue either...

    I have strayed.....but I have returned to the fold.

    Friends, I have let temptation lead me down the path of audio lust. For the last 4-ish years I've relied on a 2230b. I bought this pristine machine off Craigslist for $50(!) and it excelled sonically on everything. Besting everything I owned previously. But....I kept hearing about a Harman...

    Marantz 2230B Seeking Recommendations for Replacement Filter Caps

    Best to get ones that fit the clamps, maybe a bit higher capacitance. Originals are 5000uf which have degraded to 3500 uF or so. Even so ESR remains low (.04 ohms or so). Thanks.

    2330b missing one fm channel and I'm stumped

    I'm working on restoring a 2230b that's generally in good condition. The one major problem I'm trying to figure out is that it only has a left fm channel. I've tested other inputs such as AUX and they have both left and right sound. I also tried taking the audio directly from the preamp output...

    2230B Vs. ....... 2230B?

    After spiffing up a 1060 and running my mouth about it at the local record store, the owner of the shop asked if I'd be willing to recap a Marantz he'd just sold, before he sent it to the new owner. I jumped at the chance. I figured it couldn't be that much harder than the 1060, and definitely...

    2230b: 2 turntables?

    I have a 2230b and all of a sudden a "multitude" of turntables. I want to run at least two. Since the 2230b has only one phono input, can I just get a preamp and feed a 2nd turntable through that and then into the AUX or even the Tape input on the 2230b? I'm a little hazy on this topic...

    Marantz 2230B Filter Capacitors

    I'm looking to replace the filter caps (C003 & C004) on my Marantz 2230B and was wondering if these NICHICON 6800uF/50V KG Type II's I see listed on Ebay would make good replacements...

    Marantz 2230B, what's it worth?

    I've owned this 2230B for a few years now. Thinking of sending it to a good home but not in a rush to sell it. Overall I would say it's in great condition. A few small nicks/scuffs. I've gone through and cleaned all the pots and everything is functioning well including the tuner. Unfortunately...

    Marantz 2230B F802 fuse

    I'm having a similar issue to that described here: http://audiokarma.org/forums/index.php?threads/marantz-no-lights.557250/#post-12217879 But mine is not simply a fuse out, as my F802 fuse keeps blowing. I'm using the properly rated 250v 2amp fast blow fuse. My AC voltage J810/J809 is 8.4v...

    Stupid wires ;)

    So i just rebuilt the FM section of my 2230B and after putting it all back together with the am module on top, I noticed the left channel was just about dead on fm only. Now i had not removed the fm board completely but now i took it completely out. Checked all the Caps, resoldered a few messy...

    Finally!! Found the intermittent short on my 2230B

    So when I was working on the bottom side, I snipped off some of the old vinyl ties to work on the boards. All of sudden my sound goes completely away. I worked out that I had a short.. Somewhere.. I ended up re-soldering the selector switch, a couple of weak connections on the tuner board and...

    Got a 2230b- I'm now a Marantz owner

    Friends, I've been lusting after a 22XX model for ages. But the Marantz tax was keeping me down! But close watch on a CL listing got me a dusty, but fully functional 2230b. It is driving my TF400s right now, playing a little Count Basie. I was sure that my Kenwood KR 5150, (in mint...

    Marantz printed date 2230b

    Hello all! Question on this date code. Is it January 12, 1977 or December 1, 1977? Not sure how to interrupt the stamping. Thanks, Jeff.
