VSA VR4 SR or JR as a match to my system and room
VSR Customer Service is excellent. I always receive a response to my emails within a day. They also answer their phone. I think your experience may be an anomaly. TVAD's advise is right - call them.

Help on diagnostic error in Lexicon DC-1 v. 2.1
Lexicon is a little slow in responding (as I said, they're average), but they have always responded to me. You might try calling them, or sending another email. 
1 channel quiet in a multiamp
if you've eliminated cables and other components and verified it's one channel in the amp, the next thing I'd check for is fuses. I'm not familiar with your amp, but many that I am have rail fuses inside the case - usually on the board. If yours d...
