Hi Everyone
Just discovered the forum last week, and where have i been!? :Whoohoo:
Really helpful and knowledgeable bunch of people on here.
I was hoping to get some advice.
My AVR pioneer vsx 815 that i bought while still in matric with my hard earned saving, suffered a good death due to a power surge :'(
I got the quote to fix it, and it got me thinking, will it be worth fixing, or should i maybe put in a little extra cash and maybe buy a newer amp that has more modern connections (hdmi, BT etc)
That lead me to finding a Yamaha RX-V579, that i managed to negotiate down to under R5 000.
So my questions to you folk is:
Is this a decent price for this amp?
How can i test before purchasing that all ports and channels are working?
the seller offered to take it to where he purchased it (remedytec i think it was) and let them test and provide a certificate that all is in working in order.
will this be trust worthy?
Thanks in advance :dop:
