Behringer NX3000D

I purchased this amp as a replacement for my 19 year old Dynacord S1200, for my home theatre system. I wanted to try a D-class amp, and have only had good experiences with Behringer in the past, so I went for the NX3000D. The sound quality is excellent. On par, or better than the S1200 before the caps started to dry out.

I left it switched off for a week during a small vacation, and when trying to turn it back on, it was completely dead. Opened it up (risking the warranty) to see if the internal fuse had blown. But it was intact. So the internal power supply had apparently waved goodbye. There was no apparent catastrophic failure. No blown caps or discoloured components.

Being an electronics engineer, I know that these things happen, but at the same time I believe the construction leaves very little margin. At the same time it comes at a rock bottom price, and you can't have it both ways.

I've returned it and I'm expecting the repaired unit back, or an equivalent replacement. I'm not giving up on it. At least not yet. :-)
