Nad M3 power board and R, amp

The real techie can diagnose which parts to be replaced and do that. The one full of snit will tell ya to change the whole thing.
Find real one.

 I did start to wonder about the $ 75.00 diagnose fee and the discontinued parts, they know I have to drive 100 miles to pick it back up. are they conning me?

Where you’re local to?
Technically, I don't have to even open a unit to blast this kind of diagnosis! They did not provide details. It's not sufficient explaination of the cause.
A power supply as well as output stage consists of circuit elements that need replacement.

Czarivey, I am in Sherman Tx, They did offer to dispose of the unit for me, I will be picking it up. The M3 case is pretty enough just to sit and look at it. I am watching ebay for those parts I need, I can rework my system to be usable, since I wont be replacing the M3 . I do think they should have told me factory parts are unavailable before I came in.

The $75 fee is pretty much standard in the industry. I've had to have a Primare SP 31 rebuilt, even a new video board, which had to be sourced from Sweden. My Esoteric DV 60 had to have a new transport, it was readily available.

Although we may be talking apples and oranges here, there seems to be parts available for many discontinued, or older models in some lines. I recommend you contact the manufacturer, if anyone can provide the parts, they would be the first to be contacted IMHO.

Good luck I hope it works out for you.
