Platypus Posted February 12, 2011 Share Posted February 12, 2011 Hmm, sounds like you might need an expert in forensic science Good luck anyways Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dood Posted February 13, 2011 Share Posted February 13, 2011 It's just upset you called it 'digital' ma matey! Good luck, I hope the bill isn't too large.. which given it's a german D-Class amp - it's probable gonna be SMT circuit boards and thus more of a pain in the bum to fix! I hope it's not expensive!

warwickhunt Posted February 13, 2011 Share Posted February 13, 2011 I've had a few Tech Soundsystems/Tecamp products and when they work well they are great but I'm concerned by the number of times they don't! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

[/quote] Indeed... there are great when they work. When I was bringing Tech Soundsystems into the country the amps were always the weak part of the range. Anyone remember the Paracube combo? Plenty of them went down. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EBS_freak Posted February 13, 2011 Share Posted February 13, 2011 Sounds nasty. Good luck getting it sorted dude. Makes you realise why all the amp techs love the point to point valve stuff... at least you stand a chance of figuring out what is going on!
