I am sad


I am very sad. Feels like I’m stuck between a rock and a hard place.

My amplifier is malfunctioning. It happens. Just fix it and move on what’s the big deal? Well I’m trying. I need the company of the amp to send me the invoice so I can buy the part and start the fixing. But they don’t reply to my e-mails. It’s been 3 weeks since the last communication. The amp has been broken for 2 months. I just need them to let me pay for the part. I don’t understand what’s so difficult. I’m sad.

 

I’m unfortunately married to the sound of this amp. For example a person married to the Mcintosh sound or the Pass labs sound. My speakers (Summit X) are amplifier picky. They love this amp. I check my email 20x a day hoping to see the invoice. I also check the junks. They had already said the part is available for $300. I’m not even sad anymore. I am depressed.

@thecarpathian You cannot "accurately and fairly judged" something based on perspective. Perspective is entirely subjective. Find another dictionary.

Try accurately and fairly judged something in perspective. Go ahead. 

My amp went bad yesterday.....left speaker doesn't work.   It's an Ayre ....weighs in at about 100 lbs.   It cost 1000 dollars for shipping to Ayre and back. Damned it!!

They have a Facebook page, but not much activity and zero comments from consumers. I'm guessing they don't allow comments.

A fresh reminder why I switched approach past few years acquiring amplifiers built within 1-2 hours drive time from my residence. I need to try and stick to that when I start rubbenecking again for the next amp. Big iron costs more in a few different ways it seems. Sorry to learn about your costly shipping experience - but at least you got it fixed. Good for you.

I am in full agreement with @thecarpathian this time, for once. I have disagreed with everything he said in the past though. Somehow in this thread he found thruthiness.
