i have a chance at a mac for the same price as upgrading the Krell.....SACD is the important format factor i am interested in with it.
thanks guys
Well,its actually quite a delema:
my Krell SACD just BROKE and the upgrade is $1500+shp(from Ontario) and I can get a "Brand new"(unopened) 871 for the same.I just did not want to pay $1500 for a rebadged denon.If it has the MACGIC(LOL) touch,...thats good.I am not having a very good relationship with the Krell Warranty repair shop up here and may sell all my Krell gear,as this is why I bought Krell as a local shop was nice to have.I sent a Marantz DV9600 to him """500 days ago"""and he has not offered me any assistance other than PARTS,PARTS!!!!! So I purchased another unit(Krell) and it is now down and he will not help with it either.So I have spent(lost) enough with brands he fixes.
I guess I am having troubles with loosing $4500 in players and then putting in another $1500 for a problematic situation that was never the consumers fault(ever).It seems like a game to some but for me this is a lot of hard work money gone down the tube and all I get is exscuses.The Krell warranty repair shop in Brampton,Ont. is just a shop full of excuses that is making me rethink about my brand loyalty and making sure people never go through the situation I am in....
So let me try and understand this correctly!!Not only do we the consumer get screwed for a drive system but the $1500 replacement is a cheap computer drive?
I will not do this.
As for the shop,I not only gave them business,but recomended them.One fella sent his 600c in for caps(a half hour drive)and it took them 4 months.He feels like a VIP knowing my player has been with them for 500 days.I am incredibly saddend by all of this and donnot know how to just watch $4500 of my money dissapear while they give me nothing but excuses.NOT OUR FAULT.
