Do I REALLY have to be without my MD8 for 2 weeks, while Yamaha fixes the channel one noise problem? Anyone know where I can get the parts and fix it my self???
I think you have to send it in. Seems to me that I wouldn't want to tackle that job; very fine electrical work and soldering and parts and etc. Yeah, man, let Yamaha do it and during the two weeks you are without your Yam, you can vocalize in the shower or write new tunes or make linguini with clam sauce.
If it is surface mount components, you better not even try.The input opamp is probably the cause of the noise, but unless you have the tools, you better just send in to yamaha or warranty station.
I don't think I can live without the MD8 while it's under the knife! I know, I'll mix my newest 8 tunes down to DAT, and burn some CD's and listen to them! Maybe do some local promotion......N
