Audio Classics is a go to place for Mac repairs. I would not send this older piece to Mac as they will most likely sub out the work to Audio Classics (they are a short drive from each other). If you don’t want to go the repair route, most likely Audio Classics will give you some money for the unit as is.

I asked about the sources ( cd player, streamer, turntable, etc. ) because many sources produce enough voltage output, to drive the power amp to full power ( not that you will drive it to full power output, and a turntable would need the gain of a phono stage ). In other words, you do not need the additional gain of a preamp, except with the phono. The 2125 has input level controls ( volume adjustment ), so maybe, just a switcher is needed ( similar to having a passive preamp ). Besides, the Khorns require so little power, this would be a good way to go. Do you have another system to combine the two ? |
If you are in Pittsburgh go see these guys. http://galaxieelectronics.com/ It is your responsibility to have the amp repaired. It is a family heirloom. If you are not an audiophile please sell the equipment to someone who will appreciate it. |
Hi Hoopie The smoke you saw, and maybe heard a fizzy sound, was a capacitor burning out. Easy fix! Not $800.00 (unless you want it to be) Find an shop that does repairs. They can replace the capacitor for less than $200. They should be able to replace all of the caps for less than $400. My electronics repair shop replaces all caps on a amplifier for $350. These aren’t the super high end caps but they sound fantastic. They work with Macs on a regular basis! You should easily be able to find somebody in New York that can work on a Mac. Bent |
