    Which pre-amp/amp for my Marantz 2230/Ar4ax system

    Hey everyone At the moment I have a Marantz 2230 powering a pair of Acoustic Research AR-4ax. Both are serviced and recapped and sound nicely. I am interested in stepping up the system's game by introducing a pre-amp. I was looking at a defected Luxman LV 113 amp today for a friend and since he...

    Used vintage cassette deck for under $200?

    Dear all, I am thinking about revisiting the wonderful world of cassette tape, more for enjoyment of the warm, fuzzy analogue sound than for archiving. I would welcome your suggestions on an easy maintenance vintage unit that would sit well between my Marantz 2230 and Thorens TD160MK1 (a 70's...

    Time to recap Marantz 2230?

    Hi Everyone. I had recently noticed a drop in sound quality from my Marantz 2230, perceiving it to be weak in both bass grunt and treble clarity. Sure enough connecting the pre outs into my Rotel RB980 power amp made a huge all round improvement in sound. The 2230 is an early model from 1972...

    2230's C753

    I've read quite a bit in various threads about this and in my recap I've replaced the item with a 10uF, in accordance with the received wisdom of AK. Being now in the final stages of the refurbishment, the sound seems good to my ear so no direct complains about the choice. However, can't escape...

    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...

    Hi all Marantz people, I find it an absolute pain trying to make sense of this, so just wondering: has anyone got a better readable version?

    Ohm Walsh 2 paired with Marantz 2270

    I have been told and even read a little in other chats that Marantz 2270 and the (4ohm) Ohm Walsh 2 are not a good match? After checking with Ohm and looking up specs they said the 2270 is fine, since they show a minimum impedance of 4 Ohms. The 2270 specs are pictured in this post. I like the...

    Readjusting bias current and DC offset - Marantz 2230

    I'm currently in the midst of my first project, recapping a Marantz 2230 and meeting quite a few difficulties along the way. All of them feeding into the learning curve, to put a positive spin on it. I keep reading that after recapping the tuner boards, a "readjusting of the bias current in the...

    100uF 10v Cap -back of 2230/P150

    Suggestions for the correct position please? Difficult to read anything in the schematics, it being on the back of the board. Any idea why it's been mounted there, by the way?

    Marantz 2230 vs. 2245

    Fellow AK'ers, I am facing a great quandary; I have a recently acquired Marantz 2230, which I took to my service guy for a general look-over, cleaning, and minor repair on a couple tuner lights. When I dropped off the 2230, he told me that he knew of a 2245 which was for sale. Based upon the...

    Kef 103.2 match with Quad 405?

    Dear All, I have a pair of Kef 103.2 speakers that I love dearly but looking for a bit more quality power to drive them more fully. Currently I have a Marantz 2230 that sounds quite good but a little thin and somewhat weak. Budget for a power amp (fed by the 2230 pre) is limited and I'm looking...

    MARANTZ 2230

    Hello fellow audiophiles! I need your help with a particular issue. I am considering purchasing a Marantz 2230 to drive my BIC Venturi Formula 6's. I am writing this to ask if 175.00 for this receiver is an adequate price for, and if it is a worthy purchase. Is there anything I should be looking...

    Marantz 2230 Transformer Buzz

    Hi all. So my 2230 has developed a mechanical buzz from the transformer, loud enough to be heard at very near distances and quiet listening volumes. No noise is present in the audio. Am I right in thinking that it's likely to be loose through bolts in the transformer itself? Should I remove the...

    Marantz transistor substitutions

    Hi everyone. Recently I had some transistors replaced on my 2230 preamp board and the resulting sound quality is actually duller and less dynamic than before. Can anyone confirm that the transistor choices are correct? Original: 4x 2SC1000 vs. Replacement: 4x 2SC2240 4x 2SA493 vs...

    Hello... I have recently purchased a recapped Marantz 2230 and it sounds good and clear through my ScanDyna A25x (4 ohm 88dB circa 1970 speakers very similar to Dynaco A25x). However, there's not an awful lot of power or bass, even though the volume is sufficient for our needs. I have lusted...

    Hi, I bought this Marantz 1060 "in perfectly working condition" ;) recently. Don't ask for the price I paid :eek:. What I saw inside however, was a P700 board devastated by some “criminal” and a baked transformer (you know the smell). As you can see from the pictures, there are lots of burnt...
