Hi everyone,
Hope all is well. This past week a tornado hit near our home in South Dakota. 100mph winds, horizontal rain, etc. The window in my stereo room was slightly open which allowed some rain to get inside my beloved pre-amp (EMT JPA-66). I thought all was well and fully dried when I powered it up. Apparently some residual water remained and thus blew 3 resistors from what I can visually tell. I won't pretend to know if anything else is awry, this is just what I see visually.
The unit is in flawless shape otherwise, I am mentally fatigued on the entire issue and just want to move on. So, I am hoping to find a home for my EMT JPA-66. This unit will need to be sent to Switzerland and EMT has said they can service the unit. So, wondering if anyone knows somebody who wants the unit. I can sell it as is. Or, I can send to EMT and have direct shipped back to the buyer.
I believe in full disclosure, so rather than just post this on other audio web sites and get flayed by the nasty-grams, I thought I would discuss this out loud with this group which appears to be the most level headed of all the audio forums.
Maybe I am missing something here and being too emotional/frustrated. I will tell you that the EMT distributor has been very good to me thru the years. Jonathan has helped me in may ways. Likewise, EMT has been fully supportive, so hats off to Jules and the EMT team.
So, if you know someone interested in the EMT JPA-66, please let me know.
