Ok guys, I presented my case and thank you for the discussions. I’m out and will not post any additional comments, since there is nothing new to discuss/debate. I have appreciated the majority of your comments. I just need to enjoy the music now!

Ok guys, I will just shut up my big mouth :-). Was just tryting to get some support from my Goner friends. Seems that paying top dollars for an amp repair is part of the hobby. I feel like a cheap old bastard :-). Final reply on this subject.

@testpilot So in my situation, you would have just  shut your mouth and bit the bullet? Not my style. I just find that replacing two 16 pins chipsets + calibration and using 14 hours of labor is unjustified.I called Classé Audio customer support t...
