Repair a Rel Britannia B-3?

Stadium and Strata are 2 completely different subs than the Britainia series, not even close. And, If your dealer orders the part you DONT have to send your REL anywhere. Maybe You might have to bring the sub to a local REL dealer for repair IF your lucky to have one near you.

I had an amp issue with my Rel Strata 3 a year ago. An email to Rel through their website was returned with information directing me to my local Rel dealer/rep. I contacted them and they picked up the sub, probably removed the amp and sent it to Rel, and had it back to me in 3 weeks. I was only charged a reasonable amount for a service pickup and nothing additional when I picked it up at their storefront after the repairs were completed. I was pleasantly surprised with the response, service and cost.

The three fuses are all replaced. It is the amplifier Board that has a short in it or something that is flowing out the fuses. The Rel contact in California claims they don't have parts and can't replace the Board. I just sent an email to the Rel website contact in the UK, and I will let you all know what they say. Thanks for all your responses. It is a bit shocking that a unit 7 years old is not supported. --Jerry

I can relate.
I broke a cartridge connection lead and asked the maker if he would rewire the tonearm.
"Sorry buddy, you're on your own".
Made me feel all warm-and-fuzzy...

Hello Jerry:

I have the same model with the same problem. My local dealer (Bellingham, WA) sent the amp board to Rel in California and after considerable time the response is that the the board traces are bad with no reliable repair. No replacement boards are available. Were your efforts to contact Rel in UK productive?
Thanks for you anticipated response.
