I usually work on tube equipment, so I may need a little push to resolve the issue I'm having with a Marantz 2230.
I hope I'm posting in the correct section. Thanks for reading.

I'm just looking for a place to start. If I was working on a tube amp, I'd probably look into the signal capacitors.
The problem seems simple. Here is the symptom:

- When powered on, the receiver plays fine through both channels.
- After roughly 10 minutes of operation, the left channel makes a brief hissing sound and fades completely out.
- If I power the receiver off and turn it back on, the left channel plays again immediately but dies off, justas mentioned previously, after 30 seconds to 1 minute of use.

This happens regardless of what input source I'm using. I have isolated the issue to the receiver itself. The issue occurs very reliably.

Thank you very much for reading my post.

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