Audience Au24 - Did any one have problems....?

My Au24 IC stopped working when I had them removed during a furniture re-arrangement. I live in india and there is no way I can send it to Audience for a repair. so when I tried to fix it, I found the internal core being extremly thin, no wonder they stop working. I just love the way they create sound, but looks like it has to be handled very gently.

Ten posts here so far - include the authors, with four separate instances of issues/problems. Good lord man...that's forty percent failure (I know...I know, nothing scientific about that assumption - but, still...). For the price, you'd think they'd perform...regardless of their customer service. In all my years at this....whatever it is we do, I have never had an IC fail.

Audience has been very good, two emails and got a new replacement! They are delicate so you just have to know how to work with them.

I hope audience does place more information on their website regarding cable installation (installing and removing). I know how to work deal with the cables now.
