Factory repair out of warranty is very costly reguardless of what youve been told,I know a gentleman spending over 2 grand to fix his Classe.Not too mention shipping cost.If you have a general repair guy find out his bench rates and always have the gear checked out before buying.You may find its now worth the effort.I would buy something used with remaining transferrable factory warranty or save your money and buy new.
Repairing older amps
A very general question: Are there certain brands that are easier to keep going, either because the companies provide support, or the designs are simple or well-documented? Or could a good tech repair just about any amp?
I'm looking to spend about $500 on a used SS power amp delivering about 100 wpc, and am considering older models of brands like Classe and Acurus. Any suggestions appreciated.
