Repair of Bedini Amp


Hi All,

I've got a 25/25 that requires repair. I'm not having much success getting consistent, reliable communication with Gary Bedini, who I take it, works with John Bedini out of Idaho. If we can't communicate enough to set up a repair, I'm doubting whether I want to send them the amp. Does anyone know others who have expertise in repairing these amps?

Thanks, Peter

I found an online reference with Ben Jacoby at High End Audio Repair. Anyone have experience with Ben?
I don't know where to point you on that amp. It's a great little amp. I'd love to have one. I'm sure someone can help. If you end up not having any luck, I'd be willing to buy yours and sit on it until I figured something out. I've always wanted one :^) Good luck!
I would recommend Music Technology in Virginia. I used Bill Thalman who refurbished an SP 10 turntable for me with excellent (well jaw dropping actually) results. Bill is a minor legend in the high end community. He is their high end audio expect. Google them and go to their web site. Click on services and then you can email Bill directly.

They not only do repairs but upgrades as well. The bedini is 30+ years old and obviously the quality and sonic performance of passive parts has increased hugely. They could also place a IEC socket, replacing the captive PC and allow for use of an aftermarket PC.

As an aside, I used to own a Bedini 25/25 which I bought new. In it's day it was considered the amp for the Rogers 3/5A. It was also quite prized by Quad 57 owners which continues to this day.
Hope this helps.
I also used to have one but I don't get the hype surrounding that amp. I also still have a 100/100 I think is much better. I would not give up on Gary. He really is a good guy. I've also had difficulty communicating at times and at other times he was very attentive so I wouldn't be too put off by first impressions. Who knows what's going on over there:)
