Having switches in power amps fail is not uncommon, it is hard to see how it is related to the mods but since I don't know what they did who can say for sure. Finding competent repair men is a task worth of one of the labors of Hercules,BUT the good part is this is not, in most cases, a difficult job. If you never get the switch an alternative is to wire around it and use an external one to turn it off and on. In either case anyone who is reasonably competent with a solder iron should be able to do it; it shouldn't require a HIFI specialist as you are not dealing with the circuitry but just an AC line.
Jolida 302 b disaster
So it appears that my jolida 302b's power switch is going. Sometimes it works and sometimes it shuts down shortly after powering up. This started right after I sent the unit into jolida to have the factory mods done and have the RCAs replaced. I contacted jolida and they said they'd send a replacement switch but no sign of it after a week. Once i get the switch i still don't know what to do with it.
Is there anyone who lives in the madison, wi area or knows someone in the area who would know how to replace the switch. I am aware of paragon in madison but would rather not have the work done there.
Does this seem like this is Jolida's fault or should I assume it's unrelated to the recent work done? Any suggestions as to what I should do?
