Lavardin gone

Can anyone tell me where in London/South East I can repair my Lavardin IS ?

 

Hi,

Why don't you try the distributers, Audiocraft on 01895 253340.

or

They are based in Uxbridge. I do understand these amps have some components inside them that are not marked so identifying them may be harder.

Thanks SCIDB, this is my concern as well.

 

It was just a fuse. BTW output fuses in IS are only 1A. Never seen anything like this before.

 

Crazy frogs !

 

It's a 10 amp quick blow I think you'll find. Well it is on my Lavardin anyway.

 

Joolsburger - I still can read numbers. It was 1A slow.

 

Sounds like those amps had some real love and attention whilst being built.

 

Mine are marked T2 250V so that's one amp is it? Well, I learned something today.

Shin I dont know what you mean I'm afraid, I hope your not having a cheap dig about something? My Lavardin is the one thing in hifi that has really blown me away..

 

In my IT, they are 2A fast, like they should be (T or 'Traege', means 'slow', is also useable, more stable)... I guess in the IS/IS Reference, it should be the same.

 

Actually the guy who checked my IS (and he knows a thing or two being a designer of some well known British hi-fi) did replace it with 2A slow.

 

2A slow is good. It is more stable than a fast blow fuse, hence better sound. Hifi Tuning fuses will give even better sound...

Thanks Garmt, you knew what I was thinking about.
