Who can fix electrocompaniet amps

I have an Electrocompaniet 120 that keeps blowing its fuse before it starts up. It worked for 2 months - the distributor took it in twice and kept it for over one year combined in both efforts and it still is not right - the dealer Audio Heaven has been no help and pretty much said it is my problem. Someone mentioned at one point a guy in Florida but I cannot find the thread. It sounded really good for the two months. Would using a different fuse like a slow blow help or different amp - it uses fast blow 5A 250 volt.

The man in Davie Florida is Andy Bartha. Please refer to this recent thread for more info, & also mentioned is Bill Thalmann who can probably fix you up. Definitely check out the URL's referred to in this thread.

First I think you've been hosed by Audio Heaven. You obviously got a lemon and they should have stood by their customer and given you a new unit.

Electrocompaniet is known to make good products so hopefully they would stand behind it. I would write a detailed letter to them explaining the problem, and how the distributer and dealer have let you down. Don't know if this would work, but it would be worth a try. (I would also send a copy to the dealer and distributer).

I am in a similar position. I had e-mailed Electrocompaniet on a faceplate that was damaged in shipping, and they got back to me on a replacement part- one month later! Then I e-mailed them back asking how to proceed, and they e-mailed me back- in three weeks, without any instructions, asking me again to verify and they would contact me. This was two weeks ago. At this rate I'll get next year. Not a big deal, but frustrating on high end products. I would like also to find someone domestic who can work on, even if I have to come out of pocket. Love the products, but service is just not there.
