not sure why this thread isnt in 'feedback'
i have a Chris Ready - ReadyAudio - restored to the maxx 8080 db.
been using it lightly for 3 years.
the led lights went out
the "reveneered to new" cabinet was ...uh...hmmmm....techs should stick to electronics
"A" speakers work on one channel
"A+B" selection doesnt work at all
something is wrong with the tuner - it doesnt pick up anything.
my problems are after 3 years of use - those posting praise should wait - use the thing for a while - and see what $1200 mess you really have. a restored receiver does not guaranty another "30 years of service" - and if you did fall for that thought then you really need to check yourself.
every tech is a person with a personality - best bet to not get ripped off..... use someone within driving distance so your gear/time/money dont get held hostage.
