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.
What are we arguing about this time? Being upset when something breaks? CHoice of words? Sorry the amp broke, but of course everything breaks eventually. That's what spares are for, to hold teh fort for a period of time as needed. What else is there to say? How about tariff talk? At least that is controversial. |
Here you go @thecarpathian ! You were so wrong. He never said it literally LIKE THIS, in this combination. He might be sad, desperate, depressed or in agony. But not all of these in the same time. Who among us hasn’t been sad OR desperate OR depressed OR in agony over audio problems. |
@mapman , go for it! |
@immatthewj I think we are sending every thread into oblivion with tariff talk. We created audio snapchat. |
Social media so reactionary, OP is sad over his admittedly relatively small loss, so he can't feel sad, depressed or whatever in short term. Do we now have to police emotions, sheesh!
As for repairs and diagnosis of equipment, I've had most success in speaking with company principles directly. I've effected various repairs/modifications with the direct help of these people, saved both of us the cost and possible damage of shipping. Part of the reason I don't purchase equipment from faceless corporations is this very thing, lucky if you can access a company tech let alone the designer/owner of firm. |
