    2245 issue

    I’ve been happily using a Marantz 2245 Catrafter restored for me—hard to believe it’s been about 15 years! It has been in regular rotation ever since. I was hoping to run something by you experts in case you might be able to point me in the right direction for a local repair. Recently, I’ve...

    Marantz 2245 Power Supply 35v Gone

    Happy new year AKs! All the best wishes for 2026! I decided to revisit an old project - a 2245 which I only have not worked on the power amps. So I replaced the caps and the dif pair transistors, replaced the mica insulations and added new thermal paste. Everything was going fine and what I...

I'm thinking of adding a Port to my system, in order to sync it up with some Sonos players in other parts of the house. I'm in a bit of a quandary how I would connect it. As I see it, there are two options...

    So I turned on my Marantz 2245 the other day after it had been sitting for a couple of months. I played some music for a little bit out of the auxiliary input and it sounded good. The next day I tried to play a record through the phono stage and there was only sound on the right channel. I...

    Marantz 2245 Main Remote Speakers

    Looking for a little clarification. I have a Marantz 2245 which I currently have hooked up to a pair of Infinity RSe speakers. I had a chance to purchase a set of Advent 5002's and I want to hook them up as well. Easy enough to hook them up to the remote speaker outputs so I can switch back...

    Hello my fellow audio fanatics. I wanted to say hello, and admit that I have been bit by the Marantz bug and currently under self quarantine in my music room. I have no regrets myself, but can't help but feel bad for the rest of mankind. -San Marantz

    Marantz 2245 voltage conversion mystery?!

    Hi guys, I'm about to finish the restauration of a nice Marantz 2245 and one of the last steps is driving me insane. Here in France,domestic voltage use to be 220V and most of the vintage gears you'll find around are set on this. But over the years, voltage has evolved to almost 240V. So to...
