Parasound halo JC2 what a joke

Had a jc2 power button fail because the glue that mounted it on fell off ! I guess they glue the input and power buttons on to the face plate . So I sent it out to get fixed , $175.00 with shipping and the repair shop put a small scratch in the face plate . The repair shop is like that must have been there I didn't do it . I call parasound and talked to the owner he said he would talk to the repair shop and call me back . 2 weeks later I called him back and he thinks i'm pulling a fast one on him or something ! If I dinged the front I would have said put a new 1 on . I drive a new caddy I think I can afford it ass$#@# .

This basic rant was also posted over on Audio Asylum. As someone responded there we're only hearing one side of the story. It would be interesting to hear Parasound's side of things.

I love these guys that spam the net whenever they feel slighted. It hasn't really been established how the button was attached, and whatever it is, it obviously isn't a problem. I've got 2 Parasound components that use the same button, I'm not losing any sleep so far.

Aren't you doing the exact same, but, for Emotiva?
What is it,you are annoyed that Parasound (your gear)
is getting bad reputation?
Emotiva and Parasound are in the same league and only priced
different. A quick search will confirm that,and also who has better prices.

Over at AA one guy's JC2 power button fell apart 2X . I don't know for sure but i'm going to guess that all halo gear power and input are glued on . If i'm wrong please correct me . I'm surprised with how hot the amps and preamps get that there aren't more failures .
