Who can fix electrocompaniet amps

Ligi,

Are you using the amplifier in the US? If so, shouldn't you be using a 110 volt fuse?

The ONLY Electrocompaniet certified technician in the United States is Heinz. HE is the person in Florida you were referred to. His name is Heinz Preiss. and his website address is: http://www.angelfire.com/biz/grundig/

His contact information is on that page.

Thanks guys - I have contacted the Norway people with equal frustration and as they said they stand by the distributor and dealer whole heartedly - too bad they don't stand by the
customer.

bwhite is correct - heinz preiss is *da man* for electro in the usa. re: fuses, i believe the correct fuse for your amp would be a 5a 125v slow-blow fuse.

Sedond, I'm glad you are a satisfied customer. But for my part, I have been considering their latest cd player, but after this thread I wouldn't touch their gear. Looks like it's Meridian for me. I think the treatment that Ligi has received is a disgrace. Great for Heinz's business I guess.

Grandpad (and others) will be interested to hear this, before I invested in the new Electrocompaniet EMC-1 MkII, I called Heinz and spoke with him about the reliability of Electrocompaniet products. When asked about the reliability of the EMC-1, he said, "I have never seen an EMC-1 in my shop". I then asked him about my preamp and he said, "No one has ever sent me an EC 4.5 before".

As it turns out, the Electrocompaniet gear is as reliable or in many cases more reliable than other products out there. Personally, I have never experienced ANY trouble with my EC gear. After talking to Heinz in person, I felt good about EC products and quite confident that if something DID go wrong, Heinz would be able to fix it fast.

P.S. While the Meridian is a good player, the EMC-1 MkII is far superior in every way - it would be a mistake to let a silly thread like this turn you away from Electrocompaniet.
