Parasound halo JC2 what a joke

Had a jc2 power button fail because the glue that mounted it on fell off ! I guess they glue the input and power buttons on to the face plate . So I sent it out to get fixed , $175.00 with shipping and the repair shop put a small scratch in the face plate . The repair shop is like that must have been there I didn't do it . I call parasound and talked to the owner he said he would talk to the repair shop and call me back . 2 weeks later I called him back and he thinks i'm pulling a fast one on him or something ! If I dinged the front I would have said put a new 1 on . I drive a new caddy I think I can afford it ass$#@# .

I assumed the power button was broken and needed a new part . If parasound would have told me the glue fell off I would have tried to glue it myself . Trust me i'm not the only one with this problem .

When I bought the halo gear at 1/2 price I could have got McIntosh for 1/2 price as well . Live and learn .

Over at AA one guy's JC2 power button fell apart 2X . I don't know for sure but i'm going to guess that all halo gear power and input are glued on . If i'm wrong please correct me . I'm surprised with how hot the amps and preamps get that there aren't more failures .

Wow , my jc2 is 90* when it's off . My A21 would heat up my listening room playing my martinlogans . Perhaps someone needs to turn up the volume .

Mr john curl designed it so when it's off certain parts stay powered up / warm so it sounds good when you turn it on !!!! I have a temp gun , so yes 90* at the back of the jc2 . Anymore lame ? Or statements .

Omg it's not in a cabinet , plenty of ventilation around it . When everything is off for days its still 90 . Sometimes my savannah cat sleeps on it . Lol

My new caddy turbo is a piece of junk ass well . I have to tighten the turbo once a month . Oil is leaking out of the engine seals , not dripping . Its fast and cunffy but for 50k you would think they could keep the oil in the engine .
