There's a guy in town who has a good reputation.  A few months ago he
replaced some components in my NAD preamp/tuner and it cost around
$125.  This was more than I expected but I haven't paid for electronic
service for 10 years so I really don't know what this work should cost
now.

Do you think there may be an advantage to sending it to McIntosh for
factory service?  As I understand it, the transistors have to be
matched.
