I purchased a HK1400 integrated amp, which is very rare in the US, and considered by some to be a legendary amp in the UK, off ebay for $50! It seemed to be quite a deal and sounded very good (for HK).The power supply started emitting DC and the amp blew. Luckily my speakers were spared.
A local HK authorized repair shop, here in Central NJ to remain nameless, estimated the cost of repairs to be between $200-$250.
It hardly seems feasible to repair the amp at that cost? Please advise, the cost seems very high.
Thanks
Dennis
