Parasound HCA806 amp is crapping out...

Any suggestions for a replacement 7-channel amp? I'd like to keep it in the neighborhood of $1,500 if possible. I've seen a few used Cary Cinema 7's for around this price. Should I bite or pass?

I also experience "channel fade" with my HCA806. While I have not tried this yet, I have heard that the level control pots for each channel go bad and can be bypassed to eliminate this problem.

Repair could cost hundreds of dollars and it is likely only a matter of time before it may have another problem. No guarantee with repair.

New will cost more, but give you the chance to upgrade and if bought from a dealer come with warranty.
