It can be anything from a 5 kr chip to a set of new output transistors.. Problem is that the repairtechs also have to make a living, and at ~300 DKR per hr you'd get close to the price of a new amp pretty fast... I have a couple of good techs up here, but that would require shipping the amp - email me for contacts if you want them.. Still have a pile of used EV and Chevin amps sitting on a shelf here, if you are interested /peter, voidaudio.dk |
