Repair of Bedini Amp

Hi All,

I've got a 25/25 that requires repair. I'm not having much success getting consistent, reliable communication with Gary Bedini, who I take it, works with John Bedini out of Idaho. If we can't communicate enough to set up a repair, I'm doubting whether I want to send them the amp. Does anyone know others who have expertise in repairing these amps?

Thanks, Peter

Sure. As I said, I used to have one and thought it was a 'good' amp. But the 100/100 I think is a 'great' amp. I've owned a 250/250 and a 150mkII also. The 100/100 is the best of the lot. When biased up high, it has an extremely enveloping three dimensional quality that would embarrass the tube guys. However, I found the Bedinis in general are just not 'fast' enough for my liking. That's their only drawback imo.

Yes - Ben has worked on my gear several times. He's worked on my amp, pre-amp and DAC, each time with great results. I find him to be very knowledgeable and he does fantastic work.

Replacing the caps with the same (or better) spec modern equivalents did the trick. As I said, Gary told me that there was nothing unique about the power caps they put in originally relative to the ones I replaced them with. This may be different when it comes time to replace the caps in the sound circuit.
