Am I wrong?


to expect quick service when eq breaks. I've been at this hobby for 25+ years and have had my share of broken equipment . I am getting tired of it. It's always a pain when one's system is down, fortunately I usually have enough stuff laying around to fill in. My latest example, I won't mention the manufacturer, is a $5000 component, fully upgradable, lifetime warranty, sounds great etc....malfunctions after 3 months. Now, I've got to pack this behemoth up, double boxed, ship it across the country and wait it looks like at least 30 days or more to have it repaired and sent back. Slow to answer e-mails, etc. Here's what I think - tell me if I'm wrong. Put my repair at the top of your list - I'm a longtime customer, send me a quality loaner. Instead, I have to wait - then out of the blue it will be on my front porch one day. I am tiring of this - I'm getting to the point where I am going to maybe sacrafice sonic satisfaction for excellent customer service. I am fortunate enough to drive a BMW - pretty sizable investment like my component. If something goes wrong they supply a loaner. I do have kudos for conrad-johnson - took a preamp in on a Thursday, technician called on Monday - picked it up on Tuesday. Thats what I'm talking about!

Pops,
I don’t blame you for how you feel. I guess I’ve been lucky, I’ve only had (from what I can remember) four pieces of different equipment go bad on me in 30 years, 20 of those years was hi-end. In all such cases I had my gear back with-in a week to nine days from the other coast of the USA. My point being some manufactures really bend over backwards to assist. For that I’m grateful! I wish you a speedy return of your equipment.
