How hard it is to replace the rca input on the shindo amplifier?
@dangcaonguyen...if you are anywhere near northern Colorado, I would be happy to do that for you no charge. 
Why warm amps sound better.

Conrad Johnson Repair Issues
I was a c-j dealer for many years.  They are a wonderful company.  Of course, we are only hearing one side of the story, but I tend to agree with the others that something is going on.Call and ask for either Bill or Lew and tell them the story.  I... 
Lower volume from right channel
I agree with yogiboy.  Since it's a custom made amp, the designer might be using a fuse or resistor that might have popped when the spark hit.  If so, that would need to be replaced.  Normally if something like that happens, the amp wouldn't work ...

Norah Jones

MBL omnidirectional speakers. How do they sound ?
