repair restore classe ca300


Hi - need amp fixed. I am posting from Pittsburgh PA. Amp light turns green indicating it is going into protection mode. At present it is not connected to anything expect power outlet. I have tried every solution suggested by past threads and online to no avail. Looking for tips to fix myself or have repair done near Pittsburgh 15237. Don't want to mail or haul far as the beast weights more than I do - any help appreciated.

Maybe the particular CA-series you owned was a lemon? By now these amps are 25+ years old, and those that made it this far are probably neither more nor less reliable than their peers.

As you correctly point out: 

The old Classe CA series amps were wonderful sounding and extremely powerful.

That’s the salient point here. OP would be hard pressed to buy a modern amp that came even remotely close to the sound quality of his Classé with what he’d get from selling it minus what it will cost him to fix it.

I'm in NJ and can repair modify upgrade any audio component  if I can be of service 

Thanks to all of you - opened this one and looks pristine inside. 6 fuses all look in A1 shape. I actually have 2 Ca300's and utilize 1 for each Magnepan (Maggie). I have had both for over a decade with flawless performance. Additionally I have 7 Snell's which I drive with Bryston equipment. Looking for local tech to repair and have no desire to sell anything. Play mostly CD's on a Krell. Also have another Krell cd player needing repair and would really appreciate referral for local tech as I said the ca300 is very heavy to handle. 

Devinplombier – thank you+

I may break down and ship (shipping probable cost = small fortune) if I can't find local relief to one you kind enough to reply but am not in a major hurry. Thanks again.
