Amp repair...What to expect.

As I understand they've done the job on dead channel and as a matter of fact decided to replace the same elements in the live channel too. As a living studio and stage techie, I would probably be able to take a look at repair project done if you can post pictures of an open box. Output transistors in particular close-up.

Marakanetz...you are correct, both channels caps and output transistors. And you've given me a kind offer. What is it u suspect; substandard parts?

I would take a look first. Not only substandard parts, but project testing datasheet. What have you been provided as your receipt? Any replaced element listings? How many transistors had been replaced? All details.

Marakanetz... system is sounding warmer at about 25 hours burnin. But I will get u some details on the parts. I appreciate your interest.

Marakanetz...asked the shop for details and haven't heard back from them yet. My invoice says 1).Transistor and fuse blown, rebuild right channel. 2) add caps.

Parts are... 2 output transistors, 10 Caps, 1 fuse.
I assume he replaced the 5 blue caps on L/R channels. Does not say if they are Polystyrene. I'm very glad the stock power supply caps were not replaced.

To update you, it's 50 hours burnin and sounding pretty good. More detail, soundstage has filled in, has that Sunfire warmth. But I'm still missing the deep 3D image that my system should present. I use Amperex NOS in my preamp and CDP and the image should extend way back into the rear wall...that's the best part of my system.
Will keep burning in and wait for details from the shop. Will stay in touch.
