fair does, this is based mainly on taling to a mate who runs a hifi / tv / cpmputer repair shop - he probably gets more older kit in. Ref. rotel, i phoned what, at least is listed as their UK number, when the poer supply went on an RB870bx amp, they said 75 quid, then told me to had aaway inshite, when they actually listened to the model number (on the third repeat). Fortunately, Jason at Sevenoaks Oxford sorted me out in 2 days at a total cost of just 29 quid. so much for the rotel service dept... no cheers for them, but, as I have always found since I first walked in, Oxford Sevenoaks have sorted me with a very decent service, no matter what.. (I've asked for their advice on Ebay items, they helped anyways ,even though they knew, if anything, it would cost them a sale).. but the result? I'd never dream of going anywhere else for cables, help, repairs, more stuff etc.... they really are the best guys I've ever dealt with... > **As a NAD service agent, I must say that I see very small numbers of their > equipment (a good sign).
