Took my Levinson amp in for repair

You see these kinds of posts pop up every once in a while, but you hardly ever hear the "other" side of the story. So I don't know how anyone can give a fair opinion as to what could or should be done.
In any event, I wish you luck and hope things work out for you.

Polk,

"Won't they even try to help repair the damages? It just doesn't seem right that you should be stuck with nothing."

With all due respect, like I mentioned earlier, we have not heard from the other party. Who knows how this unfolded before and after he was told the amp blew up, and to come pick it up.

Every once in a while the other party does respond in these types of threads, and it's funny how untold facts from the original story seem to appear.

I'm just saying.

I know, I know Al. Believe me I heard about this many times over. It's a long story so I won't go into it. One thing is for sure, this will never happen again!

I have an example of "proof" of negligence for you.
My computer just stopped working. Brought it to the service center where I bought it new (major computer company). They tried to bring it back, but couldn't and said I needed a new hard drive. So they installed the new hard drive and charged me some $375.00.
Before sending the "bad" hard drive across the country to one of those expert hard drive restoration places I though I'd bring it to a local service guy. He called me later that day and said he put the old hard drive back in and got the computer working without too much effort. But, whoever just worked on it put the long screws back where the short screws were supposed to be and subsequently poked holes right through the back panel.
So he put all that information on my invoice (that was for $100.00) and I took that to the first service center. They had no problems issuing me a full refund for their screw ups and told me I could keep the new hard drive.
