**Funny you mention that, Stewart. A couple of years ago, I was asked
to service two, stereo, 3 Watt (PP) valve amps. Unfortunately, apart
from several buggered valves, all the electros, many of the resistors
and most of the old plastic capacitors also required replacement, it
had three (out of four) faulty output transformers. This would have put
the price into the ridiculous area. Then, I had an idea. I put a pair
of small power OP amps in each amp. I put a LF and HF filter in front
of each OP amp and ran the whole shebang off the filament supplies. I
left the valves in place and told the client that I had fixed his amp.
If was in any way unhappy with the result, I would refund his money, in
full. The cost, of course, was significantly lower than replacing all
the faulty stuff. After he'd used it for a week, he reported that his
amps had never sounded so good.



Gross hypocricy noted.
Evidently its ok for you to 'defraud'
a customer.

How is it unethical, if he offered a full refund?

Because he did not disclose the modifications.

Sorry for the erant double clicks!

Anyway, he asked for a repair of a tube amp, not a replacement
of the tube components with a ss components.
A proper repair woud be the replacement of
of like components. Making a substantive modification
without notification and consent of the owner is unethical.
If a proper repair could not be made on an economic
scale, this should have been discussed with the unit owner.

Mikey, can't you perceive
the deceptivemess of what Trevor did?



Already conceded the point in another post.

Do you not see now how easy it is to be fooled by the placebo effect?
This guy should have, assuming all the subjective crap about sighted tests
was accurate, been able to tell that his amp was no completely different.
