Trade or not...

My Arcam AVP700 suddenly started turning off by itself. The dealer (that I returned to for repair) has a (original) Proceed AVP that matches my Proceed Amp 5. I borrowed it and love the sound. But it's old. That's why I bought the Arcam instead. Now I am reconsidering. Any help?

Hi,
The PAV and AVP are different items. I spoke with Mark Levinson/Proceed recently and they said they can still repair and AVP and/or update it. The maximum price for any job is $850; this would include replacing every part if necessary.

Hi,

I have both the AVP and the AVP2. I'd ask to return the Arcam for a refund and get an AVP2 used as it has PLII, DTS-ES. That being said, the AVP is still a good sounding unit and if you want to save money, you can ask for the AVP the dealer has and some money back. The AVP should only be 1/2 the cost of the Arcam unit.
