Hopefully he'll respond to my email soon.
"Not as described" might be a good description.
I just want to undo the swap deal. Someone else might just have said "ooh, yummy, faulty kit" and whipped their screwdriver and multimeter out and sorted it, but I'm not that kind of hifi nut. We're dealing with lethal voltages here and I simply am not qualified to go near it.

Yep, Myst G-Ohm power amp.
I think it's a PSU problem - only one channel powers up and there's buzzing and whistling .... before I asked to undo the swap deal (still waiting for a reply on that) the t'other guy suggested it was an earth problem he'd had before with it.
There's nothing obviously loose, I did have a peek inside the PS box - other than that I am out of my depth.

He never said anything to me about that when I saw him. Sure he will get back to you.

Ah.
I suspected you knew the gent, Grant.
All amicable so far, comms by email after the initial AOS PM.
He just hasn't responded yet to my 'swap off' email from Thursday.
Give him a nudge if that's appropriate.

Sadly, other guy has gone back on his word.
He had previously admitted a known fault with the amp when I told him it was faulty --- "hi jerry sorry to hear that,the only thing i can think of isthe earth wire on circuit board,the cable is to stiff,i connect the right mono to left input,and vice versa,i had to re solder the earth before,i played them,sunday through the night,and monday,hope this helps"
Having asked him to undo the swap he intitially replied "hi jerry that wont be a problem,you could get the atoll picked up when mysts are dropped off,i will pay half the postage,"
I got an email this evening ... "hi dont send mono,s back they were working fine when i sent them,yours Charlie!"
I said I would send it back anyway, to which he has now replied "they wont be accepted"
He is KONDO on the forums - deal with him with extreme caution, he does not keep his word and refuses to honour the spirit of a swap deal.
-- and I have already paid for the return courier.
