    Marantz 2220 recap - recommended capacitors

    With Elna Silmic II capacitor no longer available, can you advise what are your recommended capacitors brand and series (available in Digi-key, mouser) while retaining the warm sound/character of this receiver? Also, is there any difference in part between this and 2220b? Thanks in advance.

    Marantz 2220B intermittent voltages in power supply

    A power supply is behaving a bit erratic in my Marantz 2220B. I think I can recall putting this unit aside a couple of years ago after it developed a sizzling "bacon" kind of sound in both speakers which would indicate a problem in the power supply, perhaps some transistor. However, after trying...

    Marantz 2220B - Recap?

    Hi, My recently acquired Marantz 2220B works perfect, but shows no signs of ever being serviced. Should I recap it? I have all the parts, I've been studying, but... if it's not broken, should I fix it? I've attached a few photos and wondering if someone might help me identify some of the...

    marantz 2220B with an additional strange board!

    Hello All, I recently recapped my beloved 2220B and let me tell you what a learning experience it was. Finally, after adjusting power supply, bias and DC offset voltages it sounds just as good as before it was recapped IMO. But ofcourse, it is a reliable unit for many years to come. In the...

    marantz 2220B Phono

    Hello All, I wanted to share this with you for your advice. I have had a marantz 2220B for 6 months and just loving it. I planned to recap the power supply board for its reliability but didn't have anything as good sounding to take it offline. I finally pulled it off the system and recapped the...

    Marantz 2220B with 4 ohm speakers

    Hi, I have Boston acoustics Subsat 6 speakers with subwoofer. Each piece is 8 ohms. But as the subwoofer isn't powered, I've connected each section of sub woofer directly it to each speaker. I think that makes the total 4 ohms. The Marantz 2220B is rated for 8 ohm speakers. Is there any...

    Marantz 2220b Dead right channel

    Happy belated turkey day AK! Just finished recapping the phono board, power supply board, and pre amp/tone board. As was when I started the right channel is dead on all inputs. Power supply tested at 35mv. Idle current set at 20mv. Left channel DC is 0 and I can see it move as I adjust the trim...

    Marantz 2220b vs. Sansui 5000x

    Hey all. I currently own a Marantz 2220b receiver and am considering purchasing a Sansui 5000x. Is this a good step up or should I just stick with the Marantz? I know they’re pretty different as far their wpc are concerned. I’m honestly not really sure I need the extra power. The room my stereo...

    Marantz 2220b - Rega RP3 and $1200 dollars

    I have a very nicely maintained Marantz 2220b, a Rega RP3, and some lackluster JBL bookshelf speakers. I have been saving and upgrading my gear over time, and this setup is due for some new pieces. I am hoping to receive some guidance from the audiophiles here as to whether I should invest in...

    Hello from PA

    Hello all, 60 year old newby here from PA. I've stumbled upon a few decent purchases lately and it has me reliving my childhood. I grew up in the 60's and 70's listening to my friends Marantz and swore I would have one someday. I finally realized that dream last week with a 2220B. Not top of...

    Marantz 2220B - speaker pairing

    I know this question has been posted quite often, but I wanted to get an updated opinion from all of you regarding great speakers to pair with the 2220B. This is going in my home office, where I do most of my listening. Space is an issue, so nothing too large. I use my system for listening to...

    Marantz 2270 and the loudness button

    I have a Marantz 2270, 2230, and 2220b and I enjoy listening to music with the bass mid and treble up quite a bit (2PM) and the loudness pressed in. From everything I read and what people say I feel guilty doing this and feel like I'm going to "Fry" something in the receivers. Is this true? Does...

    Marantz 2220b Sizzling?

    I recently picked up a very good condition Marantz 2220b to use with my Klipsch KG3s. I have to say it is the best sounding receiving speaker combination I've ever heard, at least in my experience as a young audio enthusiast with not much to invest in this hobby! Anyhow, although all stages...
