Qualified service technicians disappearing! Recommendations wanted
My McIntosh MA6900 sat idle (in original boxes) for one year during home renovations. Power Guard now kicks in upon turning power on (likely a capacitor died while idle). My last McIntosh authorized service shop closed, next closest says 16 months queue! Any recommendations that don’t have me shipping the very heavy unit or waiting over a year to get my center of my system back to life? I’m in Fairfield County CT. Any qualified technicians that are not part of McIntosh’s (shrinking) list of authorized service shops?
For repairs on the ARC SP9 MKII, consider contacting the following authorized service centers: 1. George Meyer AV: Specializes in high-end Audio Research service and repair. 2. High End Audio Repair: Offers both warranty and non-warranty services for Audio Research components. Search the above names for the web pages I hope this helps. |
I understand you said you did not want to ship however, if that turns out to be your only alternative, I would suggest you reach out to these folks: https://www.pyramid-audio.com/ While I live in the Seattle area, I visited them while I was in Austin recently. The owner gave me an impromptu tour of the facility and I was very impressed. Good luck! Happy listening. |
