Audio withdrawal
I think it's a good idea to keep a back up amp around. I have several. It's also good to hear things from a different perspective occasionally.

A company is really shooting itself in the foot by not supporting it's used products. If someone can't sell his or her old model they will probably not upgrade to the new model.

Just play the repaired one by itself til it breaks in.
