My apologies if this isn't the right place for this question. Yesterday I turned on my Xindak monoblock and it shat itself. Smoke, all of that good stuff. Was wondering if anyone could recommend someone good to take it to for repair? Cheers!

Further information: I am the second owner. These were purchased from another SNA member about 6 years ago. Recently serviced by Chris at Kimil Electronics to check all OK and the bias was reset. These are two heavy buggers to lug around but they sound sweet as. Very dynamic sounding with 200W power into 8 ohms, but Class A operating for finesse. Ideal amp for many diamond or Beryllium tweeter speakers as well as ESLs and ribbon speakers. Can be shipped as are in the original double boxes, but prefer personal pickup From the Xindak website The circuit features of XA8800MNE Designed as a separate mono-channel structure, XA8800MNE is a full symmetrical current negative feedback Class A amplifier. The input buffering amplifying stage adopts fast and wide-frequency amplifying circuit with cross coupling compensatory structure. Darlington complex structure on the Voltage amplifying stage not only ensures enough voltage gain but also raises the input impedance to reach excellent match between the different stages. Besides, the adoption of Cascode circuit offers a good solution of the effect on the high frequency by the transistor junction capacitance. Thus the frequency width could be raised, the output characteristic curve of the bipolar transistor could be improved, the distortion of this stage could be reduced and high stabilization could be achieved. On the current drive stage, it adopts high power FET to supply drive current for the end stage. The parallel output transistors on the end stage could reduce the output impedance, increase the output power, and improve the load capability with low resistor. The static working current of 6 pairs high power transistors on the end stage as parallel output is about 300mA and each transistor works in the special linear area where current is higher. This could eliminate crossover distortion and switch distortion efficiently and reduce the output impedance. Equipped with impedance compensatory network including L、Rs、Rz and C on the output terminal, the load of this unit will be closer to pure resistor and difficult to cause self-excitation. Meanwhile, it could afford bigger damp to enhance the controlling ability of this unit to the loudspeaker. In order to ensure the middle point voltage of this unit approximately to be zero, high quality operating amplifying components, high frequency non-inductance resistor, silver in glass capacitance and so on are put to good use to the loop current servo feedback circuit. As for the power supply for the complete unit, each channel adopts 600W high quality annular transformer while the other parts adopts winding group on the power supply separately. Additionally the power supply for the power amplifying, voltage amplifying and protecting circuit are separated: the power supply for the power amplifying part is equipped with 50A bridge rectifier and 60,000MF filtering capacitance and supplies power directly after commutating and filtering; the power supply for the voltage amplifying adopts stable power supply with fast speed, low noisy, low impedance and strong ability to avoid the “ripple” to avoid the modulating disturbance caused by fluctuation of the power on the following stage and make the sound purer. Additionally, this unit adds protection functions, including power-on delay concussion protection, zero point floating on the output terminal, over current and over voltage of the power transistor protection. In order to avoid the noisy when power-off, this circuit adds transient release circuit, power-on delay circuit and glittering indicating circuit for protection to make this unit more intellective.

Item: Pair of Xindak 8800MN 200W Mono Block Amps Location: Singleton, about 40mins south of Perth. Price: $1600 Item Condition: Excellent Condition Reason for selling: Moving interstate and my system will not fit on the plane, so will be starting to sell most of my gear in the next few weeks. Payment Method: Pickup - Cash, Paypal, COD Only Extra Info: Pickup only please as these are quite heavy and I don't have any shipping boxes for them. These powered my Monitor Audio Platinum PL300's very well. Specifications: Rated Power: 200W/channel (8ohms load) 400W/channel (4ohms load) Class A Power: 50W/channel（8ohms load） Power Consumption: 400W Frequency Response: 5Hz~150KHz (±0.5dB) T.H.D : ≤0.025%(Rated Power) S.N.R : ≥108dB (A-weighting) Input Sensitivity: 1.7V Net Weight: 24Kg/channel Dimension (W*H*D): 305mm*202mm*427mm (For one channel only) Pictures:

Item: One Xindak A600E (09) Integrated Amplifier Location: Sunny Nanango Price: $2000 plus postage (buyer to pay paypal fees if choosing to use paypal) Item Condition: Very good 9/10. Reason for selling: I have declared 2017 the year of keeping the components moving. I only have so much space now that I'm down here in SE QLD so I have to plan to make the most of the space that I have. Payment Method: Pickup - Cash, Paypal, COD Only Extra Info: Affectionately referred to as "The Iron Ingot", this amp is heavy. It weighs in at 53kg but somehow manages to seem even heavier, I make mention of this for two main reasons. The first is that postage is going to be high, the second is that potential buyers may want to ensure the assistance of a well built friend when unpacking and manhandling the Xindak into position. Also, this is a large amp so please ensure that you can fit it into your audio rack ahead of buying it. Comes with remote, manual and original box and packing. (which I consider to be a bit on the light side to contain such a heavy amp so I will likely be beefing it up to a point where I'm happy with it). A couple of good, informative reviews can be found on the links below. http://www.audioemotion.co.uk/xindak-a600e-mk-ii-integrated-amplifier-1869-p.asp https://headmania.org/2015/08/17/xindak-a600e-09-version-integrated-speaker-amplifier-review/ However, just to clarify the wattage info in those links. There is nothing in the manual about how many watts the amp puts out in pure class A, I tend to believe the 30wpc figure because it gells fairly well with the heat put out by the amp and the minimum power draw of 310 watts mentioned in the manual. I believe the 60 watt figure mentioned in the second link is a total figure rather than a per channel rating. Pictures:

Item: Xindak Soundright Balanced audio cables, 1m pair with Neutrik connectors, comes with wooden presentation box Location: South Gold Coast, QLD Price: $75 + post Item Condition: Very good Reason for selling: No longer used Payment Method: PayPal, Direct Deposit, Cash on pickup Pictures:

Item: Xindak XA8800MN Monoblock Power Amplifier Price Range: N/A Item Condition: Any Extra Info: I have one unit blowing main power fuse. Does anybody have a schematic or service manual? Failing that, anyone know of tech who would be able to repair in Sydney? Seems Final are no longer the Australian agents for Xindak.
