| Should I repair my Creek 4330 or replace it? Hi jafant,The Creek expert is Mitch Singerman. His name kept popping up in my research as a trusted and reliable repair guy and so I got in touch and described my bad experience at HiFi Heaven. He was wonderful to work with and did a fantastic rep... | |
| Should I repair my Creek 4330 or replace it? Here's my review of HiFi Heaven in Fairfax, VA. HiFi Heaven might be the right place for some people. Not for me. I brought my Creek 4330 integrated amplifier in with a bad volume control (one channel had dropped out) even though I knew this wasn... | |
| Should I repair my Creek 4330 or replace it? I'm back to answer my own original question. In the end, despite all the very interesting and helpful and enthusiastic advice, I decided to repair my Creek 4330. If you've followed this thread you know that a local shop, HiFi Heaven, failed twice ... | |
| Should I repair my Creek 4330 or replace it? Bill, to answer your question about cabling (and other equipment): I am using Tara Labs Prism Biwire. Not sure about the interconnects, I bought them all a long time ago and went for good quality but not excessive expense. I have a subwoofer (Hs... | |
| Should I repair my Creek 4330 or replace it? Thanks again, Bill. I completely agree with you about waiting for my 4330 to be repaired (I think it's just the volume control). It's on its way to California right now. But in the meantime, a person likes to dream about alternatives.That A-18 loo... | |

| Should I repair my Creek 4330 or replace it? Thanks to everyone for responding. A very helpful discussion! In the end I couldn't bear the thought of tossing my 4330 on the scrap heap just because its volume control is on the fritz. So I sent it out for repair.That said, let's take another st... | |
| Should I repair my Creek 4330 or replace it? Sounds interesting, thanks. | |
| Should I repair my Creek 4330 or replace it? Well, that's exactly what I'm asking. What nice integrated amps for under $1000 would you suggest snagging? | |
| Should I repair my Creek 4330 or replace it? Tgrisham: thanks, good to know. Which Von Schweickert speakers, exactly? | |
| Should I repair my Creek 4330 or replace it? Yogiboy: my budget is, let’s say, $500 to $1000 for a new integrated amp. I’m also willing to try used gear even though this seems like jumping off a cliff. I don’t need any special features: the 4330 had everything I need (only one set of speaker... | |
| Should I repair my Creek 4330 or replace it? That's a very reasonable suggestion, of course. I do love the Creek sound. But all their new amps are very expensive, sigh, and I don't really know what's what in their lineup. So I'm now toying with the idea of getting a (slightly) used Creek 535... |
