Regarding the dealer , he will only offer a trade in and that price is unattractive.  
Yamaha Amplifier Warranty Issues
The latest update...... Yamaha won't pay for outside parts and even labor. I debated in my mind about the quality of the parts from Yamaha vs outside and having no knowledge about electronics (even though they are only capacitors and resistors) ha... 
Yamaha Amplifier Warranty Issues
There are a few things a good dealer could do for you in this circumstance. He could offer you a loaner, for example. He could offer a replacement unit at his cost with a credit applied for the Yamaha as trade after it is repaired. They don't hav... 
Yamaha Amplifier Warranty Issues
The dealer cannot do anything as the unit is almost 2 years old, The service center can repair it with outside of Yamaha parts and can charge me $350 for parts and labour with his 60 days warranty. I'm trying for Yamaha to pay for this  .    
Yamaha Amplifier Warranty Issues
I finally heard from Yamaha......... They cannot find a refurbished unit to replace mine. So I'll have to wait till either the parts arrive in 10-12 weeks or if Yamaha finds a refurbished unit, whichever is first. It really sucks!

Hi raindog69, What will you use the DAC for? I basically need to convert my TV digital signal to analog. I use Amazon fire stick (connected directly to the TV) for Spotify streaming and Youtube. So, is it worthwhile to spend $700 on the Topping da...

Hi raindog69,Yeah I paid $2300 for the  now discontinued A-S2100 and that's quite a price difference from the newer a-s2200. I'm waiting for my speakers to be delivered. Klipsch says 6-8 weeks for delivery but the dealer says they usually ship wit...
