The preamp and amplifier were not repairable as the quote came in today. It looks as though a replacement set is required.
Here are the two systems given as a quote - BAT VK32SE with phono stage (no remote as the RM-1/RM-2 did not have a remote and I will not pay $500 for the BAT remote - please!) and VK55SE.
The second system is a Aesthitix Callisto Mk II with phono preamp and MD D-75SE amplifier. The first system is nice but the preamp in the second is all-out sick. Thoughts?
Maybe I will buy a bit lower-end amplifier/preamp and go with better cable, vinyl set-up and speakers. My new Magnepan's are on there way but a sealed reference speaker would better suite my room. At least I have choices now and not a damaged preamp, amplifier and interconnects.
Thank yo to all who replied and offered help. I can still use plenty of help.
What would someone suggest for $5000 (ampliier/preamp/cables) as I have a transport and a turn table.
