HMMM.

I recently bought a Musical Fidelity X-P200 Power Amplifier. I have an issue with it. The Power Button in front is stuck in the ON position.  To turn the amp on or off I have to turn off the power conditioner it's plugged into or unplug the unit.
Is this an easy fix? By easy I mean can a person repair this on their own? Or do I need to take this in for service?

Thanks, I just might give that a try. There are 4 screws on the face plate. if that doesn't work I take it into a shop.

I had the same problem with a Cayin integrated. I thought it probably needed a new switch. I took it to a local tech, it turned out the switch was just out of alignment. He wanted to return it to me at no charge. I insisted on paying a minimum bench fee.

Today I took the amp to a shop to get worked on. I'll know in 2 weeks whether or not it worked.

Well I took the amp into a vintage hi fi shop in my town. They fixed it for a price. I won't reveal it here, but I think they were fair.
