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.

Nobody said that you can’t have an emotion. We have simply suggested that you realize that your situation is comparatively minor next to war or serious illness for example . Your definition of perspective is faulty and incomplete.

Sometimes it takes the perspective of others to put us back on track. Think about it while you listen to some music.

@samureyex It does help...try it. You can still enjoy the music you love using a lesser amplifier with a greater attitude. 

I had a hand operation a few months ago that involves ongoing therapy, and once in a while I feel a bit sorry for myself, until I remember that a former workmate and good friend found out 6 months ago that he has metastatic cancer. 

Yes...perspective. 

I agree with @carlsbad2. Presently, I have my beloved DAC in for service, and two days ago bought a used Sony carousel player for $7.49 at Goodwill. Of course, the sound quality is not nearly as good, but I'm enjoying listening just about as much, and very grateful to have it.
