Dearly departed Music Reference RM9

My Music Reference RM9 is down and beyond repair. I'm devestated as it has been the heart of my system through so many changes. My system is- Lexicon RT 20/ Cal Audio Alpa- VPI Scout Master/ Soundsmith Carmen- Jadis DPL- RM9- Dynaudio C1 model 2's, all high end cardas cable. Any suggestions from those that know? The RM9  had really sweet mids and while a tube amp, never sounded overly soft like many I've heard. Thanks for your help, fellow fanatics/ addicts.

Really not that much to these amps transformer, caps, resistors and Roger can fix them or I can.

See if you can find an old Lafayette KT-550 power amp.  Have a tech change the tubes to EL34 power tubes and be done with all of this.  The change to the EL34 tubes is basically the tube socket wires are moved and re-bias the amp.

Second option is to find an old Counterpoint hybrid power amp that has been modified.  If not modified, I can do that also.  Great driving power and sweetish sounding amps.

Happy Listening.
