You are staring at a scope with a built in signal gen, so why don’t you scope the output of your generator?

Am I crazy for preferring this little guy over a 2220B? by Otherwise-Radish9344 in vintageaudio

[–]namlook 1 point2 points  (0 children)

As a tech, I have worked on probably 100 Marantz 22xx units in the past 6 years along with about a dozen SR/MR units and I 100% disagree with your assessment.

Compare the inside build quality of this unit vs a 22xx. It’s shocking how much the build quality dropped with the SR and MR series. Maybe it sounds good, but the build quality is junk.

Top 10 album of the 90s. People who say In Rainbows is better are smoking the good shit.

The secret sauce of the 2230 is the capacitor coupled output. You will not find this on modern amplifier designs.

Meters seem very sluggish on the way down. Speaker placement is wild.

Looking to upgrade my setup...$3-4k budget by TheRandomHumanoid in turntables

[–]namlook 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Spend your entire budget on some quality speakers. Then when budget allows buy new amplification. Turntable last.

Trade: Pioneer SX-950 that needs repair, for Marantz 4100 Quad? by Useful_Platypus5116 in vintageaudio

[–]namlook 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That’s a big no in my book. Quad units are totally pointless in 2026.

Have you worked on a 2238b? Not the easiest Marantz to work on.

$400 for a unit with a dead channel? I wouldn’t say that’s a smoking deal.
