I blew up my receiver. Now what?

I’m sure there are lots of used receivers available on ebay Europe, but as others have offered, why not use this as an opportunity to upgrade to a nice integrated amp? Do you really need/use the tuner and the AV functions? Ultimately it’s your choice ~ choose wisely.

It's junk, man. Use this as an opportunity to go with separates, and never look back.

Sorry for your bad news JMK. But don’t let these guys get you down. I’ll bet most of them learned by doing the same damned thing, or something pretty much like it.

I know a very senior electronics genius - control systems for big time nuke research - and he calmed me down after one of my disasters, saying, "How do you think I already knew that?"

If you learned from the episode, that’s plenty good enough. Write it off and move on. Good luck with the replacement!

Why did you do that? 

Not meaning to pour salt in the wound, but the unit would not have even plugged into the wall with a North American plug.  I've lived and worked in Europe for years.  You had to have used an adaptor.

Anyway, as previous posters have concluded, you are done here.  This is an opportunity to buy a souvenir, most likely for use ONLY in Europe.  Unless you purchase something like Rega which is so familiar with the North American market that everything could easily be converted upon return to North America.  Best of luck
