Re: Creek amplifier service.
The name counts for something, I'm sure.
But the nice thing about Creek is the small product line up and that the specs for their products are comprehensive in a way that is totally refreshing. For example https://www.creekaudio.com/products/...rs/voyage-i20/ Craig |

Re: Creek amplifier service.
During the late '70s, Mike Creek designed the metalwork for the Ambit Mk III tuner & companion power amplfier ... he was part of the ad-hoc team based at Gresham Road/North Service Road, Brentwood that was managed by the brilliant William Poel.
The nature of the original post is entirely typical of Mike's approach to business i.e. the Customer is king Guy |

Re: Creek amplifier service.
I was looking for a price but couldn’t find one. Out of my league both financially and acousticaly, my ears would not be able to tell the difference between that and a portable radio.

Re: Creek amplifier service.
Am I the only one wondering why the fuses blew?

Re: Creek amplifier service.
The usual way it works is that the silicon blows to protect the fuse.

Re: Creek amplifier service.
If they're the originals, they might have expired through old age.
