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 had a pair of speakers that were sensitive to source, the kef R105/3 with kube. I finally found an amp krell kav300il integrated that smoothed the rough edges in the upper mids/treble. Even with a 2nd power amp driving the woofers the krell would overheat and require service. Once the warranty ran out, the model was discontinued and the unit failed again I went back to trying different amps, but I ended up building an entire new system because I couldn't get the synergy back.

Most companies outsource the different parts in their products so you might be able to go around the amp brand and locate the manufacturer of the $300. part, might even end up only costing $150.
