Re: Crest repair center needed


Got 1 amp back today, both amps had the same tracer in the power supply section blistered, along with no connection from melted solder.  1 amp was worse then the other so he removed some parts and tested them, they checked  ok, will assemble on wed.


My other 8200 that went  a while back, same issue, along with a few more 8200's that he repaired, same area blistered and lifted.


All these amps were being run bridged into 4 ohms or stereo 2 ohms, so, lots of current and heat on a small tracer.


You can say I'm bitching, but there seems to be a problem here, wouldn't you say?
