Well, in my experience modern electronics are so complex and 'integrated' inside it is virtually impossible to make all but the simplest of repairs. Gone are the days where you could diagnose a circuit, replace a capacitor here, a resistor there, and get results. At best they'd charge you for replacing major boards or other units inside. -Brian n8wrl



You know, I just got into DIY projects (as the father of three girls under the age of 3, I am trying to ratchet up the testosterone as much as possible)and the first thing I picked up was soldering. I am going to try to look at the board myself to see if it is a simple cold solder or fuse.

Unfortunately, I don't have anything I can connect into my pre-outs - would buying one of those $30 T-Amps and hooking it into the pre-amps work as a good test?
