Perreaux P250 Problem


I have a broke down Perreaux P250 ,1 channel out.Could someone help me on were I might be able to get this fixxed.Preferably on the West coast .
Perreaux want's me to send it to them in Newzealand but as it won't be covered by warranty would prefer to have it fixxed closer to home .

Probably good advice from both Rw and Mr Via. If DW Labs is the place that i think it is, they used to be the sole warranty facility for Perreaux back in the early days. I know that they were up somewhere in NY. Contacting Audio Advisor might be a good idea too.

As to John's recommendations, he's been fooling around with this stuff long enough to know who's who. If he says that you can trust Mr Zuccaro, who is close to home for you, that would probably be my first shot. Shipping big brute amps like this over a long distance is both expensive and risky to say the least.

Out of curiousity, how did you end up popping a channel ? I have literally pounded on my Perreaux's for hours on end and never had any problems. Good luck and let us know what you end up doing. I know that there are others with Perreaux amps that may end up in similar situations. Sean

Sean you make me blush. But hey, I am with Sean as to wanting to know what happened to the amp. I have owned, sold and recommended their products with incredible results.I still own a sa 2 pre amp that I swear by. These are sold well constructed products.

Are there internal fuses?? Would be a shame to pay a tech $80 to replace a 50 cent fuse.
If the P250 is anything like earlier Perreaux designs, the only fuses are located on the back panel. While i don't know if Peter Perreaux actually designed this unit or not, i know that he is not a "fan" of fuses or any type of protection circuitry due to the sonic degradation that takes place when such devices are used. As such, you might have a fuse for the mains and fuses for the rails on each channel. After that, you are relying on sheer "overdesign" to keep things from popping. A mishap such as shorting the speaker cables even momentarily can be quite costly though. Sean
