Best place to get an old solid state amp fixed up?

I have an old PS audio elite 55 watt integrated amp that recently went up in flames. Literally. I had it fixed at a shop but it is still not quite right. Does any one know were or who fixes amps like this and who can get it sounding like it did new? Thank you!

If PS Audio doesn’t work out, you might want to try:
vintageamprepair.net

Jon Soderberg is better known for Threshold/Forte’ gear, but PS Audio did once own Threshold.

I would work with the shop that repaired it, since you obviously paid them. How much do you want to invest to get it " like new ", since it went up in flames ?

I had an interesting discussion with my tech yesterday about the very expensive equipment of the not so distant past that are just about impossible to get parts for. Lots of expensive boat anchors sitting in people's closets, I'd suspect.

I called psaudio and they will not repair it. The shop I have near me also has a very limited skill set and they got the amp to work but it hums when phono is turned on and distorts at mid-high volumes.

Also with the question of price I have 600 in it now and am willing to put another 1k into it if need be.
