Threshold Stasis 2...Worth a rebuild???

I have a Threshold Stasis 2 in wonderful cosmetic condition, but one channel went flooey. I contacted Jon Sondenberg and he will do a rebuild/upgrade for a little north of 1300 bux.
Jon said that the rebuild/upgrade would put the amp in the sonic category of a Pass Labs 250.

My question is, do you think it is worth sinking that kind of dough into an amp that old?

Thanks in advance to all for your wise opinions.

Hi Kolledog

How about reaching out to Threshold Audio themselves to give you an estimate on the repair/rebuild for your Stasis 2? Who knows they might come in cheaper than Jon S. I've heard of some people who had issues with Jon S and sent their Threshold amps to Threshold themselves and were happy with the work and price.

Good luck

I would second Jednite24 to also contact Threshold which I believe is Nova audio too. I needed a small part for my Threshold and they were super to deal with.

Not knowing much about Threshold amps, I would say that non-functioning amps can be hard to sell too... :^)

Jon's (who was a tech at the original Threshold) work straddles the line between maintenance and modded...:^)
Of all the many comments I've come across regarding Jon, I've only heard of one complaint and I don't know that individual personally. I've always found him to be very knowledgable of Threshold gear and a perfect gentleman.
