Threshold Stasis 2...Worth a rebuild???


I have a Threshold Stasis 2 in wonderful cosmetic condition, but one channel went flooey. I contacted Jon Sondenberg and he will do a rebuild/upgrade for a little north of 1300 bux.
Jon said that the rebuild/upgrade would put the amp in the sonic category of a Pass Labs 250.

My question is, do you think it is worth sinking that kind of dough into an amp that old?

Thanks in advance to all for your wise opinions.

Thanks, am in process of contacting. The FET 2 was a Threshold preamp from the early 80's
Definitely not, in my experience. I had mine rebuilt by Threshold for over $1,100 US plus a couple of hundred for transport, 3 years ago, only to have a channel not only fail, but output speaker-destroying DC a year later. It took months to find an audio technologist (it is so difficult to work on that no technician would take on the work). After more more months and nearly $1k Canadian (and he gave me a hefty discount), it worked for a year or so, only to have the other channel go. Replacing blown fuses on a good local tech's bench resulted in 35 volts of DC output and acrid smoke from a burning fireproof transistor.

I'll never buy another Threshold product or similar esoteric-fringe "audiophile" product.
