I have a 2000s model Marantz AVR that went out on me during the pandemic. I'm wondering if anyone can recommend a good repair place anywhere near that stretch of 401 London-through-Mississauga, I travel that route regularly and would be glad to bring it in. I don't know where to begin looking for audio repair for something like this, or if it's even done. Marantz tells me its just time to let it go and buy a new one.
This video features the same Marantz unit as mine with exactly the same symptoms, although I'm not prepared to do what the guy in the video does with mine. I'd never get it back together. I have no idea if this video is even helpful in troubleshooting the issue.
I took it to a Marantz warranty place and they talked about it being a power supply board they don't make anymore and gave it back unrepaired suggesting buying a new one.
It's disappointing that Marantz couldn't offer a fix, but exploring local repair shops like the one you linked might just be your ticket to getting that AVR back in action.
Dealing with a vintage Marantz AVR going out during the pandemic can be frustrating. It's great that you're reaching out for repair suggestions. While Marantz's advice is to move on, seeking a repair option is worth a shot.
