PB, I did contact Cary about this. They are making a new version of this amp. They offered to install a new version of the input board and make some other, unspecified, upgrades. They wouldn’t confirm a definite cost but the estimate started at $450 plus $125/hr labor. When I calculate shipping for a 75 pound amp both ways, it starts to look pretty pricey. I’m thinking it gets close to the price of the BP2 I want, so, honestly, I think the BP2 is a better place to spend the money. I do have other amps, too many other amps. I will take the amp to another location at some point, but it’s just not convenient at this time. Also, I really don’t think that the input board is the problem, but when I questioned the Cary Tech about that, he inferred that the other, unspecified upgrades, would take care of that. I don’t feel good about the prospect of spending a grand to get the amp back with the same noise it left with.
