Quite a few years ago, I purchased a Boston VR2000 sub. It has started to exhibit a hum sound when the power is on. It happens when it's plugged into eletrical power even with LFE cable unplugged.
I purchased the sub from NOW Audio Video in Greensboro, NC. A couple of years ago, they were purchased by Tweeter and are no longer a Boston dealer, and are therefore unable to fix it.
They recommended I tried Circuit City, which I did before the bankruptcy. Circuit City didn't think their repair center could work on it since it was so old. They suggested that I call Boston.
I called Boston. They don't do repairs on it, but they contract with some guy in Boise, ID. I'd have to ship it to him, which I'm not sure I want to pay to do until I figure out how expensive the problem is. It's a big, heavy sub, and will cost a ton to ship. They did tell me that a new amp for the sub is $650. $650 plus the price of shipping would easily be the cost of a new sub from somewhere like Hsu.
The, I tried calling the local pawn shop since they sometimes do work on music gear. They were unable to help as well.
I replaced the fuse for the heck of it and it didn't fix the problem.
Does anyone have any suggestion as to where I should turn next? I'd love to get the thing fixed since it's such a great sub.
