Anyone fancy a pint?
The A&R Cambridge A60 that I use on a 2nd system with my computer has just given up the ghost. It was serviced with Arcam around 5 years ago and has performed faultlessly pretty much daily ever since. I know I could send it back toArcam and they'll be able to fix it, but I expect this will be the same price as the service and as I remember this wasn't at all cheap.
I changed the 3.15a fuses (the amp has 2 pairs of quick blow fuses, one pair had gone) thinking it was going to be an easy fix and that I just left the volume control cranked up and switching the amp on had taken out the fuses. Wrong; it made a very brief noise (i mean split second here) and lo and behold the same pair of fuses went again. Now it doesnt make a sound, no hiss when I turn it up really loud, no headphones but the LED power light comes on and I got voltage at the output of the transformer. Any ideas anyone where I should start looking. Also can anybody recommend anyone who may be able to repair it for a more reasonable price than Arcam, I live in the South West but dont mind posting it.
Many thanks in advance.
