I am sad

I’ve never understood why some folks feel the need to make unempathetic and judgmental responses. 

It’s kind of like when we all get together and have a good time tying witches to a stake and lighting them on fire or the alternative sport of killing prostitutes by throwing rocks at them.

@norton-- I agree, just stumbled upon this myself.

I've never understood why some folks feel the need to make unempathetic and judgmental responses. 

@Samurryex --  May your amp issues be solved soon.

There are not too many threads I can read thru the whole way like I did this one so thanks to all for the entertainment. And good luck getting your amp fixed Samurryex.

@whitecap 

Wake up. The maker of the amp was stated several times weeks ago. 

Is it Einstein in Germany?  Good luck, my friend.  You'll be waiting a long time.   Then, if you get lucky, they'll invite you to ship it to Germany, where they will polish the unit and hold it forever, not fix it, then return it to you (all shipping at your expense) not fixed.   Then you'll hunt down a repair shop here in the US who will fix your unit in a week.   

@samureyex ..sorry to hear it! Is it the same amp you’ve used for speaker cable break-in experiments?

This is a good reason why I don't buy from companies that use proprietary modules in their gear. Should they go bust, your amp will be very difficult to repair if you can even find someone who can re-engineer the modules. Even if they can, the cost would be so prohibitive that it doesn't make economic sense to do so. 

Good manners seem to increasingly be a thing of the past. 

@devinplombier ,

It would appear no apology is forthcoming.

You know, when I'm wrong I'm man enough to own it and apologize.

Apparently @samureyex is not.

Hire the A-Team it is to laff. I would buy the whole dang company 😃

@grislybutter ,

Darn it, grizz, quit messing up my fun!

@samureyex 

Here's the link to the imprint on their website with their telephone number in Berlin, please call them. And let me know if you run into a language barrier. If so, I live in Germany and can help.

Run to the used record store, pay $50 for The White Album, and listen to Cry, Baby Cry. 

 That's my suggestion.

 As with many words in the English language, perspective has multiple meanings. Within each meaning, we all interrupt what we want them to mean. @samureyex, you purposed a question that can be answered in more ways than one. Since this is English and not Mathematics, without further adieu;

1. 1.

   the art of drawing solid objects on a two-dimensional surface so as to give the right impression of their height, width, depth, and position in relation to each other when viewed from a particular point.

   "a perspective drawing"

   •  
   •  
   •  

2. 2.

   a particular attitude toward or way of regarding something; a point of view.

   "most guidebook history is written from the editor's perspective".  

     'A point of view' would best describe this entire discussion. We all get one.

AB

but I apologized for him. Let it go!

@samureyex 

Considering that you called @thecarpathian a "pathetic little liar" even though he wasn't even lying at all, an apology certainly seems the right - and only - thing to do here.

Tariffs making everyone a bit surly 

😆

I am truly sorry @thecarpathian 

Chill on the 'T' word until I get my apology!

@samureyex ,

Forgot one:

"A big part of the struggle..."

To quote a fifth, also from this very thread.

Well, that covers every word you denied saying now, doesn’t it. You seem to be all out of straws to grasp. I’d like that apology now.

This topic seems to have exhausted itself

tariffs anyone?

@samureyex ,

Wow. Just gonna double down and crank up the heat on the name calling, huh?

3 out of 4 that I quoted are directly from you on this very thread for all to see and verify. The ’agony’ quote is from one of the others in your initial post. As I stated, this is the fourth thread you’ve started on this same subject about your precious amp. What I wrote are direct quotes you have written using those exact words about how you feel that your amp is broken. Every single thing I quoted are your exact words copied and pasted from these threads. Go ahead, check your posts out. So, yeah. You should be utterly embarrassed and apologize.

Your nastiness is extremely unbecoming.

I also suggest you work on your reading comprehension skills, because they’re practically the same as zero.

This topic seems to have exhausted itself,

you are aging backwards in front of our eyes (It's a compliment too, depending on your preferences)

I am utterly embarrassed and apologize to all that had to read my cringy post. As a grown man I should have more disciplined and never be sad for such materialistic things. I promise to never be sad again regardless of anything. I shall go punish myself accordingly, thanks to all those that have shown me the light.

I don’t know if you understand what you are doing.

I am in incredible pain right now and have been over the last 10 days. Over something that is way more significant than a broken amp but is still not a big deal. Then today I just learned that one of my best friend is seriously ill.

I suddenly felt ashamed that I can suffer so much while others have real real pain and problems.

I think we all try to understand you but failing. Many offered you help with contacting your amplifier vendor and you ignored them.

What was the purpose of your post?

@grislybutter This is so head-spinning illogical, I don't even know where to begin. If you have a dying co-worker, would you suddenly feel ashamed for the pain you feel for your sick friend?

I have no words. 

Now, whatcha got? Again, these are direct quotes from you I’ve pulled from posts you’ve written on this subject. No poetic license, these are the exact words you yourself have used. I don’t appreciate you calling me a liar among other less than complimentary things when clearly you are wrong. An apology would be nice.

@thecarpathian I never used those words in this thread, you are a pathetic little liar and you lie so freely and gracefully. It scares me. Find "agony, struggle" it all came from you. This is utterly pathetic for a grown man to quote something that doesn’t exist in this thread.

I hope you treat your family better than this.

Just to clarify (and I am ordering my Ferrari now) the tariff will be paid by France on that French wine, right?

Yes, but you can bet they will deviously pass it on to American consumers. Just watch!

To be fair, it's not clear whether OP fully understands the reasons why his original post was received with a backlash.

.......the OP is now taking a stance against anyone who answered this thread and has the nerve to say or imply that the situation was blown out of proportion by the members here !!!  Next time don't ask or set up a thread that will evoke or provoke responses that you may not like.    

All I know is, is we’re going to take in hundreds of billions of dollars in tariffs, and we’re going to become so rich, you’re not going to know where to spend all that money, I’m telling you. You just watch.

We’re going to have jobs. We’re going to have open factories. It’s going to be great.

Just to clarify (and I am ordering my Ferrari now) the tariff will be paid by France on that French wine, right? Not me, the consumer. Or....... 

And 200% tariff on French wines and spirits! Oh, wait...

Hey guys, Trump is slapping a 3000% tariff on replacement modules for inexpensive Burmester lookalikes! And violators will be deported to Canada!

 Do we now have to police emotions

yes!!!

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.

@immatthewj I think we are sending every thread into oblivion with tariff talk. We created audio snapchat.

What else is there to say?   How about tariff talk? 

@mapman , go for it!  

Show me the "agonizing, struggle, desperate"

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.

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.   

Well, at least the OP found something to do while his system was down.

@ozzy62 ,

I believe the subject at hand is how big of a self denial drama queen the OP is...

@grislybutter ,

It’s no use, grizz. I’ve explained having a perspective as opposed to putting things in perspective. I’ve pointed directly to my reasoning. My character and truthiness have been attacked over it. He’ll simply never get it.

Boy this one went to s&*t pretty quickly. What were we talking about???

But I will give you a chance to prove your point. Show me the "agonizing, struggle, desperate" and "hyperbolic nonsense" that makes the situation more dire than it is that contains within my opening post. Go ahead.

@thecarpathian You too. You’re straight up lying and putting words in my mouth.

Just saw this one. I’d ask you to reference the above post as evidence of hyperbolic nonsense over a broken amp. The prosecution rests. Yes, indeed. An apology would be nice.😎

"Back to the issue, why are you quoting words I never used to make it seem like I was over-dramatic in my situation? Is something seriously loose in your head?"

@samureyex ,

To directly quote your exact words;

"I am very sad. "

"I am depressed."

"Some might understand my agony"

"I’m desperately waiting ..."

Now, whatcha got? Again, these are direct quotes from you I’ve pulled from posts you’ve written on this subject. No poetic license, these are the exact words you yourself have used. I don’t appreciate you calling me a liar among other less than complimentary things when clearly you are wrong. An apology would be nice.

I find in many cases to be true, that men like to problem solve while women seek to be understood on how they “feel”. This seems similar.

What was the purpose of your post?

@grislybutter The purpose of my post was perfectly clear. I even labeled it properly in the title. I am sad because my amplifier broke. That’s it. I understood that things like this happen in life, I even mentioned it. But a broken amplifier doesn’t just mean a broken amplifier, it broke my entire audio system. Each of us has different values for different things and I value my audio system very much. Very, very much.

It means nothing to others. But it is significant to me.

@grislybutter Never, ever, EVER, have I compared my situation to another person and say mine is worse or theirs is worse. It’s not up to me to judge. What are you? I can’t even, am I living in an alternate reality right now?

I find your above post oddly puzzling. You are in incredible pain and you have every rights to feel that way. The fact that you "felt ashamed" because you’re suffering so much while others have "real pain and problem"? And somehow your pains don’t matter?

What are you doing, what is this logic? His pain does not negate yours. It’s perfectly sane to feel both your pain and the pain of his situation. This is what normal humans do. They feel pain from multiple angles with varying degree.

Decooney is the only person I remember advising me to contact vendors. And I did, and guess what, all 3 of them couldn’t help. But it was worth a shot.

I don’t know if you understand what you are doing.

I am in incredible pain right now and have been over the last 10 days. Over something that is way more significant than a broken amp but is still not a big deal. Then today I just learned that one of my best friend is seriously ill.
