I'm happy that you've gotten your problem resolved. With that said, I'd like to address your last post.
1. " The odds that a $10,000 amp is flaky (one of your statements) are pretty low but it’s a base I covered."
If you reread my post, I did not refer to your amp as being "flaky." I used the term "noncompliant."
2. I didn't "lecture" you about anything. My response wasn't directed to you at all. It was in response to another poster who accused me of being associated with SR.
3. Reread the post you alluded to. You will find that I never called you a troll.
4. Its true that I didn't think this was the proper place/thread to file a complaint about a supplier. I felt the proper action was to complain to SR directly. I did that for you via SR's Facebook page. The result was an offer from SR to make your fuse dilemma right for you. I reported that back here so that you could take the proper action. Evidently it worked out for you. Perhaps doing you a favor somehow offended you??
5. Please point out where I have "condemned" and/or "undermined your integrity."
6. I am 77 years old. I started selling when I was 8 years old. But then I don't doubt for one second that I am "no more experienced in the business world than you" *lol*
Look, my intent in this post isn't to start a pissing contest with you. This is all about fun for me. I love the audio hobby. I love the end result, and that is to get us closer to the live event. But with that said, you have completely blown what I said way out of proportion and taken offense where none was intended. What do I do now ... just say "I'm sorry" for going to bat for you with SR? You tell me.
In the meantime .... happy listening.
