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 is the second time it's happened in 4 years so I'm not sure it's bad PR.  They handled it better the second time instead of charging $175, but I'm having trouble picturing "everything I touch just falls off!".  The JC2 has a total of 2 buttons, just what is being touched?!

I have the Parasound Hint never a problem great sound and questions always answered timely.
I would not put Parasound in the same category as Emotiva as I had owned Emo monos and pre and the Hint was a definitive move up in sound.

Speaking of Emotiva, Paul Mcgowan of PS Audio was at the Axpona 2018 audio show, and took a video cam around to various booths.  Several audio veterans knew Paul and greeted him and made small talk.

Then Paul wondered over to the Emotiva booth.  Dan Laufman, seeing an opportunity(I guess?) immediately stepped into salesman mode and dragged Paul and his cam to his displayed products, spewing prices and features like a used car salesman.  It was kind of sad.  Dan was also dressed like one with several gaudy gold pieces about his person.  

And for me, that wraps up what Emotiva is about.  Here's a link if anyone wants a laugh:
