    I think so Tim.... certianly the original fault/s have been fixed... and some I reckon...

    They replaced 18-20 odd bits so I'm sure I'll be good for a few years now..

    Yes it was Karma AV... they ordered all the bits needed from Harman USA

    I dealt with Tom at Karma and he was really good..

    Just wondering if you were going to tell me Karma are no good Barry....

    The problems seem to be fixed so I'm a happy bunny... I was worried that they wouldn't find what the little crackle was about, as it was very faint, but that's gone now...

    I'm now convinced that the 383 is sounding better than it did before the repair's

    Karma AV did replace a load of parts and completely re-soldered some boards as well

    The amp is now completely silent so I know they've sorted the original problem/s

    I am also sure that the 383 and the 390 cd player are keepers... I never thought I'd get to that position to be honest

    It's nice for me to say that I'd not change anything in my current set-up

    I reckon I've got to the 'diminishing returns' position and that I'd have to spend a lot of money to better the system I currently have so all the 'parts' of my system are definitly keepers..

    The only thing I can do now is improve on the cables which I'm about to do

    That's a good place to be Bev, and you have good quality well built stuff.

    IMO a part of that for me was that with diminishing returns, the constant chase and bother becomes both stressful and expensive.
