Greeting quaddies. My wondrous QRX-9001, the pride of my audio fleet, needs help. The Vario-Matrix surround mode isn't working, nor is the QS mode. It's limping along in hall mode.
Do you think the problem may lay with the soldering/connections on the PC board(s)? Electrolytic capacitors? Both? Other?
I admit to being something of a klutz when it comes to repairing items such as my receiver so will need to hire it doen. Want it done locally so as to avoid shipping damage and undue delays, etc. The thing is.... it seems most techs anymore are akin to auto mechanics..... mere parts replacers.
Any suggestions on how to find a real tech that can enter the innards of my beloved 9001 and replace caps and resolder PC boards, etc. so as to hopefully make my unit perform properly?
Any ideas on roughly what it would cost OR the amount of time needed to do a thorough fix? Labor rates vary between areas so the time estimate would allow me to figure out cost after learning the hourly rate.
Would a hobbyist that does this sort of thing be a better bet than a shop? Where would you find this type of person?
If I use a shop how do I determine of they have a real tech working there vice a parts replacer?
Any assistance or advice will be greatly appreciated. My 9001 will be mighty grateful, also!!!!
Thanx!!!!!!!
