Amp advice for my HT

James, just a tip regarding Proceed, or any of the older gear that now falls under Harman Specialty Group. HSG has a very poor policy (IMO) regarding repairs for this older gear. They require you to agree to a Not To Exceed value before sending a unit in for repair. They will not do estimates on older gear from these manufacturers that they now "own". The NTE fee varies, but is usually so high that (depending on the current value of the device) it may not even be worth sending in for repair.

Ken, I have no doubt at all that HSG will do and does the highest quality work anyone might expect. It's just that it's a tough call when you have to consider the NTE versus the probable value of the piece that may need work. Right now I'm lucky: my PDT3 is working okay, but I dread having to make the decision if that day arrives. When I called recently and got this info I was toying with the idea of sending it in, on the very real chance that whatever stock of transports they have for the PDT3 may run out soon, if it hasn't already.
