Warranty repair wait times - serious industry problem??

My recent experience with Cary repair was really excellent and rapid, quite the contrary to the above!
 

My Cary SLP05, which I bought used out of warranty, needed repair and the total turn around time, including shipping both ways, was about 3 weeks. Cary was GREAT, very professional, very responsive, very careful, with packaging of my preamp more carefully done than I have ever seen.

 I purchased a Schiit Freya+ in case my unit would be gone for months. I did get acquainted enough with the Freya to realize what a great product it is (helped by smoked glass Ken Rad VT231’s and CBS-Hytron 5692’s!), but the Cary service far exceeded what I expected.

The OP has still not identified a single audio component manufacturer with a two-month warranty repair time. So it looks like his claim is just BS.

Just had a C28 and a MC30 repaired by Audio Classics and in both cases it took 4 months. I know that’s vintage gear but I would expect the same with warranty items as well. Not enough techs and too much business I would assume. 

8 months get get back a  Rega Aphelion Cartridge. No one could give me a time frame for repair. I gave up and purchased a Hanna Red.

Correct. McIntosh, as with most audio manufacturers, gives priority to warranty repairs. So far, no one in this thread has identified a manufacturer with two- or three-month delays on warranty repairs.
