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.

I don’t know if you understand what you are doing.

I am in incredible pain right now and have been over the last 10 days. Over something that is way more significant than a broken amp but is still not a big deal. Then today I just learned that one of my best friend is seriously ill.

I suddenly felt ashamed that I can suffer so much while others have real real pain and problems.

I think we all try to understand you but failing. Many offered you help with contacting your amplifier vendor and you ignored them.

What was the purpose of your post?

@grislybutter Never, ever, EVER, have I compared my situation to another person and say mine is worse or theirs is worse. It’s not up to me to judge. What are you? I can’t even, am I living in an alternate reality right now?

I find your above post oddly puzzling. You are in incredible pain and you have every rights to feel that way. The fact that you "felt ashamed" because you’re suffering so much while others have "real pain and problem"? And somehow your pains don’t matter?

What are you doing, what is this logic? His pain does not negate yours. It’s perfectly sane to feel both your pain and the pain of his situation. This is what normal humans do. They feel pain from multiple angles with varying degree.

Decooney is the only person I remember advising me to contact vendors. And I did, and guess what, all 3 of them couldn’t help. But it was worth a shot.

 

What was the purpose of your post?

@grislybutter The purpose of my post was perfectly clear. I even labeled it properly in the title. I am sad because my amplifier broke. That’s it. I understood that things like this happen in life, I even mentioned it. But a broken amplifier doesn’t just mean a broken amplifier, it broke my entire audio system. Each of us has different values for different things and I value my audio system very much. Very, very much.

It means nothing to others. But it is significant to me.

I find in many cases to be true, that men like to problem solve while women seek to be understood on how they “feel”. This seems similar.

"Back to the issue, why are you quoting words I never used to make it seem like I was over-dramatic in my situation? Is something seriously loose in your head?"

@samureyex ,

To directly quote your exact words;

"I am very sad. "

"I am depressed."

"Some might understand my agony"

"I’m desperately waiting ..."

Now, whatcha got? Again, these are direct quotes from you I’ve pulled from posts you’ve written on this subject. No poetic license, these are the exact words you yourself have used. I don’t appreciate you calling me a liar among other less than complimentary things when clearly you are wrong. An apology would be nice.
