Hey folks!
I've had a JBL SA660 for around a year, and have it connected to a pair of JBL L112 speakers. I've only got $50 into the SA660 as I found it at an estate sale and bought it without testing it- imagine my surprise when it powered up and sounded glorious. I believe it is entirely original internally,
Right now only the Auxiliary input works, and there is a channel imbalance in the phono stage. The headphone jack sounds fairly decent but the sound bleeds between channels. The tuner input seems to not work at all.
I haven't had a ton of experience with high end modern amplifiers, but this thing kicks the pants off of everything I've heard and I want to maintain it. I'm having trouble finding someone who is willing to do the job though, in the Boston area. Most have told me they don't want to attempt it, one said he would but said it would cost whatever he wanted at the end and offered no timeline or estimate. I've checked the Lansing Heritage site and nobody has responded yet... Does anyone here have an idea of what I should do? Should I just sell the amp to Japanese collectors and get something modern?
