Actually come to think of it, I remember him mentioning that he had a few larger projects coming up (which resulted in about a 3 day turnaround for my amp!)... so maybe he's just busy at the moment.

Clarry is still going strong. He's still very quick and exceptionally well priced.

I ended up taking it to the rock shop who had to undo clarrys mistake and then begin anew. I'm convinced clarry is a hack.
Don't think you'll get much mileage out of that, lots of people know and admire Clarry's work. I've been to him once, and he was great for the job. I'm surprised he touched your dual rec. I'm not saying it didn't happen, just most peoples experience has been the opposite.

As an aside:
Jansen did sweet fuck all to the Carvin I had which sounded like shit, and charged me 300 bucks for the privilege. It was the best amp I'd ever played for exactly one gig, then something went pop. Jansen being the carvin dealer, I presumed they could fix. They changed all the valves, charged me 300 bucks for labour, and it still sounded like shit.
Correction: Im informed the whole bill was 240, waves at Simon, however it was still broken and still sounded like shit. Just saying.
So, is that low alcohol or no alcohol at all? mmmm, no alcohol, do you want to try it? Noooooooooo.
