    2230 pops when the TT turns on and off

    I am running a 6100 TT through my 2230. The receiver pops every time I start and stop the TT. Although I haven't used the 2230 in awhile, I don't recall this happening before. I did just replace my last TT with the 6100. I am wondering if it is the TT or the receiver? Anyone familiar with...

    Vintage Marantz Service Near Philadelphia or Self Diagnosis and fix

    I recently came into possession of a vintage Marantz 2230 that seems to have an issue with left channel phono input. With normal setup, only the right speaker is outputting any sound. When I switch the RCA cables, same thing — only the right speaker plays anything. I have also used AUX to...

    Marantz 2230 Output Transistors overheating

    Hello, recently I finished a full recap of both the left and right p750 amp boards on my marantz 2230 as well as replaced the three small transistors on each board (not the snowflake heatsinked ones or output transistors.) This was about three days ago and I have used it a fair amount since with...

    Holy moley, where do I begin?

    Marantz 2230 - powering it up ...

    Just picked up pristine Marantz 2230 with all original caps in it, it sounds absolutely fantastic. One thing that somewhat bothers me is that slight boom when powering it up. I would not say it is loud, but I do hear it. Is this an indication of old - getting old - caps in the output? Should I...

    Putting together my first system and I went to connect my turntable ground wire to my 2230, but I noticed the ground screw was missing. Is it as simple as putting a grounding screw from the hardware store in there or do I need an actual part for that? I’m not electrically savvy so I want to...

    Would Appreciate Some Advice

    I have a Marantz 2230 that I use with my Klipsch Forte III Speakers. I listen to some digital streaming stuff, and the TV as well, but mostly I spin vinyl with my Technics SL-1200Mk2.

    Marantz 2230 Power Amp Recomendation (Bi-Amp Project)

    I'm thinking about bi-amping a pair of Heathkit AS-101 speakers. I've really enjoyed listening to them with my 2230. What I envision is using the integrated power amplifier to drive the horns and using the external power amp for the woofers. What would you recommend for a power amp? I'd like...

    Stupid turntable idea?

    I just got a Furman 15i power conditioner, the thing is a tank!! It must weigh 20lbs! It is also the perfect size to sit under my Thorens TD-160. Is it bad to do this, set the turntable on it? It provides a very level and heavy base. Picture below. It seems to make the bass a lottle fuller, plus...

    Marantz 2230 Weak Output until over 50%

    I recently obtained a Marantz 2230. It's my first Marantz. I've noticed, what I think is, odd behavior when adjusting the volume. The increase in volume in the first 50% of the knob movement is slow. At 50% the volume is at what I would consider a comfortable listening volume (speakers are...

    Marantz 2270 volume low?
