Help With Spectron Amp

Brett:
Have you been able to consult with Simon Thacher at
MCV Consulting?

Brett:

My advise also is to speak with Simon. He is not the owner so he will not make any financial decision but as long as I know him he always could find accceptable solution.

Yes I have consulted Simon various and he's not much help to me there

Man...I'm at a loss to come up with an alternative solution. Maybe you could communicate to Spectron that if they can't help you given you live in New Zealand and the costs associated with their method of repair are untenable...why would anyone in New Zealand want to own a Spectron product? Spectron upgraded my amp and I found the Customer Service dept. quite accommodating. There must be an approach here that provides a win-win for you and Spectron. Good luck!

Hello Dart6,

Did you buy your amp or amps directly from them or used on Audigon with expired warranty.

I will forward this thread to Simon as you are the first I know with this situation and I want to know other side of the medal

I bought this one directly from spectron

It really costs $1000 to ship a 62 pound box from NZ to California? How can that be?

yes that's the cheapest one, it's from nz post, dhl is $1200, i have the quotes confirmed by email

Hello Dart6,

I spoke with Simon because I don;t like what I read. He replied that you have three amplifiers: one you bought from them, indeed, and two used on Audiogon. You are the "brave soul", I would never ever buy used amps from New Zealand.

Moreover, he said that he presented a few options to the business manager (Toni) and "thing" is out of his hand.

Good Luck but if one takes chances with purchase of 2/3 of the equipment used then sometime one has to pay, if not in money, certainly in "efforts". Good Luck!

Thx everyone

All is good in the camp. I removed the transformer shipped it in a smaller box making it feasible and spectron will ship it back to me at their expense. All is good
