Anyone willing to fix a cube for only $330AU is a very brave servicer. Those are the most
poorly designed, inefficient & FLAMMABLE amps of all time. Scary as hell. Even more flammable
than Bob's infamous Phase Linear crap. Might be almost forgivable if the piece of incendiary
crap actually sounded good, but it doesn't. What is REALLY scary is that the Sunfire amps are
a direct evolution of the cube. Scary as hell AND expensive.
Personally, I turn down every client that asks me to fix a cube. No way I want to warranty one
of those abominations.
