Max2 Posted January 23, 2015 Share Posted January 23, 2015 Does Emo even have components to fix this amp since dissolving Sherbourn? Seems like they would at least offer you a trade or big discount on an Emo product. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fish Posted January 23, 2015 Share Posted January 23, 2015 Has it been asked how old is this amp? The Emo reply was not exactly great but they did not sell it? Some help would have been nice....... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderators Youthman Posted January 23, 2015 Author Moderators Share Posted January 23, 2015 Does Emo even have components to fix this amp since dissolving Sherbourn? Seems like they would at least offer you a trade or big discount on an Emo product. Not sure on components. Sounds like they have washed their hands clean of Sherbourn. Too bad...so sad philosophy. Has it been asked how old is this amp? See quote below I'm finding reviews of the 7/2100 (not sure if that's different than the 7/2100a that I have) from 2004 - 2007. The Emo reply was not exactly great but they did not sell it? Some help would have been nice....... I wasn't expecting it to be covered under warranty, especially since I'm not the original owner and it's probably 10 yrs old. Just looking for some direction. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Max2 Posted January 23, 2015 Share Posted January 23, 2015 Have you posted any of this on EMo's forum? I bet spreading a little bit of love over there and a few of their faithful getting a whiff of this may spark them to give you a little attention.

Moderators Youthman Posted January 23, 2015 Author Moderators Share Posted January 23, 2015 No, I haven't mentioned anything in the Emo forums. I could ask if anyone knows where I can get it serviced. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderators Youthman Posted February 9, 2015 Author Moderators Share Posted February 9, 2015 I just dropped the unit off at Jersey Jim's in Clearwater, Fl. This morning, I turned on the amp and all channels except for channel 3 turned on. It's an intermittent problem....thinking some form of relay isn't working correctly to tell each channel to turn on. Hopefully it will be an inexpensive repair. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hopefully it will be an inexpensive repair. I am thinking it may be just a relay switching issue Youthman. From your original post back in 2013 it seems to me that there is some sort of triggered relay that turns on each amp in succession. The fact that it was several channels out, now only one channel out again seems like it should be a reasonably simple and inexpensive fix. Sorry you had the issues in the first place and since I have a ton of Sherbourn and Emotiva products I had hoped they would have given you a better answer after contacting Emotiva. All of my questions and inquiries directed their way were handled promptly and accurately. I realize they never built or sold this amp to you, or even to the original owner but as a busines model I would have appreciated more direction for you. Please update us with the results when you get it back. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderators Youthman Posted February 14, 2015 Author Moderators Share Posted February 14, 2015 I'm not familiar with the components of an amp but I agree, I'm thinking it is some sort of relay. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
teaman Posted February 14, 2015 Share Posted February 14, 2015 Hopefully you get the amp back in a timely manner and the repair was successful and easy on your wallet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Moderators Youthman Posted February 16, 2015 Author Moderators Share Posted February 16, 2015 Would THIS apply? I called the repair center and she said they believe they have narrowed down the problem and asked if I had a Schematic of the amp so they can order parts. I asked if she knew if it was the relays that went bad and she did not know. The tech comes in at 1pm so I'll call and speak with him to see if that model number for the relay is what he is the part that he is needing. The article gave a part number and suggested Mouser as the distributor but it says "Obsolete" on their site http://www.mouser.com/ProductDetail/Fujitsu/VS-24MB-NR/?qs=%2fha2pyFadugCY8wOV321Z%252bBVgTxbTHIq4yVuIUw8Czo%3d Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
teaman Posted February 16, 2015 Share Posted February 16, 2015 I suggest you call Emotiva and maybe talk to a tech there. I have talked with Damon a few times and he has been helpful. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Moderators Youthman Posted February 20, 2015 Author Moderators Share Posted February 20, 2015 Called about the Sherbourn since they have had it 2 weeks and no quote yet. Guy won't be in until Monday afternoon. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderators Youthman Posted February 26, 2015 Author Moderators Share Posted February 26, 2015 I finally received a call back from the tech and he said to fix the two capacitors that are bad in the amp, it would be $280 and it would be 3hrs of labor. Honestly, I'm not sure I want to drop $300 on the amp to repair it when he's talking about fixing two channels and before I sent it in, there were times that 4 channels did not work. It was intermittent....sometimes one channel would go out, then other time 4 different channels would not come on. I'm not confident he knows exactly what the problem is. Any advice? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

derrickdj1 Posted February 26, 2015 Share Posted February 26, 2015 Consider the cost of a new 7 channel amp. Not an easy decision for you. Another used amp may need some work in the next year or two and more money spent. A new 7 channel amp is not cheap but, will have a warranty.
