Soldato
My trusty Yamaha 2700 has a power on fault, it doesn't cold power - pulling the power lead out and back in a few secs later seems to work but it started off not powering on once a week and now its doing it pretty much every time
I think its pretty likely to be a capacitor thats gone but i don't have a decent soldering iron or likely the skill to do it - can prolly diag it ok tho...
Has anyone had an amp repaired via somewhere like richer sounds - they charge £40 and from what it says would likely be the all in cost?
Everything runs through the amp so don't really want it to be away for long, may try locally but places like Richersounds will put repair cost to another amp if it cant be fixed etc...
Moving onto that - a quick look and i'm looking at a Yamaha 2030 as like for like, 1030 also probably as good/better than mine given its age - 8 hdmi vs 3 sounds like a good reason to replace but its a grand+ i could do without spending.
Any other amps to look at, having had a load of HD Onkyo and Sony amps on test a few years back i would rule them out unless either have had huge improvements in build quality and sound? (and heat output in Onkyo's case)
Anyone tried the new Arcam or NAD in similar price range to 2030?
