I had the exact same symptom with an early Marantz receiver. Turned out is was the relay. My tech cleaned it and it has worked perfect ever since. Good luck, hope it's a cheap fix but the 2230 would be worth putting some money into if you had to IMO.

Thanks for the reply. Do you know where this relay is located or with what stage it's associated?

Thanks,

Adam

I'm not an audiophile. I'm a sound junkie, a music lover and a tinkerer - but definitely not an audiophile.

  The relay for the Marantz 2245 and 2270 is on the power supply regulation board. Apparently the 2230 doesn't have the relay, from what I can see on the schematic.
  
  I'd try replacing the caps on the power supply P800 and the preamp P400 boards if it were me. I've had good luck with Panasonic FM and FC caps from Digikey.
  
  Good luck with it.

  Sorry, I don't. It's a different receiver so it would probably be in a different place anyway.
