Mcintosh c2600 issue


I purchased a Mcintosh c2600 pre amp to match my MC452 and MCT450 not even 2 years in, the small light  (led) for the (tone) space is flickering .Not a huge deal but damn $ 6k plus and already a problem . I do love the look of Mcintosh however the most simple part of equipment is the face plate lights . Its sad to see this and to have to pay upwards of $350  plus have it sit somewhere for a month is less than inspiring and all for a 2 dollar LED . I know it seems petty but do I have to spend 150k to expect quality ? Just a rant cause I do love my main stereo system dearly and expected quality . Meanwhile I have a crappy Sony receiver still going strong after 30 years . I wish I was skilled at soldering but Im a novice . Forgive my ranting but with everything going on in America lately it seems like all is going to hell ! I hope this LED issue is the least of my problems. Just curious if this is a common issue....

Refused warranty because it was purchased from over phone authorized dealer??

  Slowly losing,respect for Mac past year or so, their shenanigans, using cheaper parts, QC has become poor.
they were once the top echelon of audio. Seems even the mighty Mac has been slowly deteriorating. 
  Would still take amps if price was right,....oh wait nevrmind, they will not honor warranty unless the full markup of 50% is dealer implemented.  There is so much better audio out there. Mac  looks great yes, but as I was told here a while ago when I was just a watcher/reader......trust your ears not your wallet or recommendations by daily joes.
