| Amplifier Channel Blown @akg_ca Good thoughts… great way to look at it. I have had work done at an excellent high end electronics repair. So, best case maybe $250… worst case $800 or non-fixable. WAG. versus $1,800 new. Then you have to throw in length of owner... | |
| As An Experiment I Stuck A Few Things Under My Pre-Amp And Am Now On A Quest @ernstmach ”I use a laser pointer to check for vibration…” That is brilliant. Great idea.
