It blows away many more expensive high end amps. Really. Help me out here and just name a few for me please.
My Amp is Broken - Not Sure What to Do - Any Recommendations?
I went to turn on my Audio Research SD135 amplifier the other day, but it will not turn on. According to the Audio Research service technician I spoke to, the problem is a broken Thermal Trak module chip. He said that it is a temperature sensing component, and that replacements are no longer being manufactured. He said that it is a known problem, and that Audio Research will give me credit to purchase an Audio Research amplifier from an Audio Research authorized dealer.
I was wondering if Audio Research makes anything powerful enough to drive Vandersteen 3A Signature speakers (which need between 100 - 200 watts of power)? I am using an Audio Research SP8 Mk II as a pre-amp.
I don't really have much of a budget and am not sure what to do. I would appreciate any advice. Thank you.

Are you near any good tube amp builders or techs?+1 This is AR b***s**t, of course this can be repaired by a competent tech in an alternative way. AR just want you to buy a new one. As grannyring said find a competent tech and get it fixed. Cheers George |
