My #@%$ Cat Destroyed My ARC REF 5SE. Soliciting Suggestions.

Did your cat tell you it was raining?

You stole my word and i concur  isochronism....

I thought everyone find's their way here from the Love of music. Music Lover's have a good heart. 

If only. This may be the most dispiriting thread I've seen out here. You've got to be a miserable, lonely person to ridicule a fellow audiophile and troll/hate on his feline companion. There are some wonderful folks out here but this place needs a much stronger sense of community and some improved manners.  

Wharfy, I'm sorry about your amp. I had an old amp that I left on all the time, and my cat would sleep on it during the winter. The amp wasn't especially valuable and I just let her. If I were you, I'd practice my zen understanding and try to let it all go. I understand I'm on an audiophile forum but ... it's just an amp. Mixed into the nonsense here are some good recommendations. Perhaps you can enjoy the process of looking for a new amp! Good luck!

Last I heard Tom at Northridge retired several years ago.  He was great.

Agree with those who suggest to get rid of the cat prior to next purchase.
