My Denon needs fixing £££ ! Should I buy a new hi fi ?

Question

Hi

I have a Denon UDM-50 seperates hi fi system that needs to be repaired - about £150 !!! It has been great, however, it is now discontinued.

I don't know whether I should buy a new hi fi or get it fixed?

Thanks for any help (UK)

Answer 1

That is real conundrum since you are right at the point it starts to make sense to replace rather than repair. I would look to Denon to see if they have something comparable. Or get another opinion on how much to fix it as that seems a lot for a repair. What exactly is wrong with it?

Answer 2

Upgrade to something new. I dont know what you want to spend, but dont wast your money. Are you sure it isnt just a fuse inside the unit. Some receivers you have to take off the metal cover to get to the fuse. If not then upgrade would be best.

Answer 3

if it costs $400 to fix it then no
