Simaudio doesnt stock parts for discontinued produ


I tried to order a new face plate for my Simaudio LP5.3 phono amp. Wanted a silver one to match my silver power supply. I emailed Simaudio with the request. After 3 week they answered that they dont stock that part because the item was discontinued in 2010. Really, two years and they no longer stock parts.

I certainly know now what my next audio purchase will not be.

In 30 years of buying hifi and 15 years reading internet forums about hifi, this is the first time i've come across someone who wanted to change the faceplate on an item. I've seen countless adverts for components where the seller mentions a scratch or shows a close up photo of such and again, even on very expensive items i've never seen mention of replacing the scratched part with new. With that in mind, I don't believe it would even enter the thoughts of a hifi company to manufacture extra faceplates in case someone wanted to change the colour down the track.

I agree with the posters above that your topic heading makes it look like Simaudio doesn't stock any parts for repair which is what piqued my interest and why i opened the post. It's a false claim the way you've worded it.
