Ok sorry for the late response. I had a little procedure last night and took some pain med knocked me out. Regarding the pass labs, Tom and I discussed throu the phone last night before I got knocked out from the med, but we both can't come with an agreement. He told me he will split the shipping cost with me to send it to pass labs. that wasn't the offer I want but at least he tried. He gave me an example and i m gonna say it word to word of what he said. An example is if the amp costs $700 to fix, he won't pay for it. Tom correct me if I say it wrong.
Now let put all of you in my shoes. You bought an amp, very excited and expect it to be fully function as described by the seller. After you receive it, amp works for 10 mins and 1 channel stopped working, (I tried through different amp and receiver of my own, both channels work) So now i have to pay for half of the shipping and whatever it may costs to get it fixed on top of almost $2700 was paid for the amp and other fees required by seller to get the transaction done. Guys, I paid a lot of money for the amp and expected to work not just for days, weeks but for awhile, (let alone 10 mins) and now I have to go through this hassle and pay for additional fee to get repair? I dont think that works on my best interest. I asked Tom why don't he give me $1000 or at least something for collateral to get the amp repair and he didn't agreed either.
There are always 2 sides of the story and I guess Tom didn't mention about he is not going to pay for the repair period. He claims that the amp works fine before it shipped, I claim that the amp doesn't work when I got it so who knows. I don't have any other option but to file a paypal claim and let them handle it.
For your record, I may not know all the tricks dealing with high end gears and electrostat speakers, but I am so dam sure that I know how to connect RCA outputs to inputs and speaker cables left to left and right to right. I am also dam sure not to plug in the power cord before getting the rca cables and speakers connected clear and clean, It all recommends to do so in any equipment. I also took extra careful attention to the speaker cable when they are connected. I also bought a dam tree placing behind the speakers for some reflection shit and speakers placement, all those advises were from Tom and all of you on here. Dont get me wrong, those advises are very useful and effected. I am just trying to prove my point here that Tom did warn me about connecting the speaker wires and rca connection before I even receive the amp and I was very careful about it. Couple days ago, Tom texted me and said he just sorted out his X5 and now he has to send it to pass labs to get it fix, didn't you Tom? So the question is who knows who sorted out? It either me or him, but I am very confident that it wasn't me. Like I said, there are always 2 sides of the story.
Btw I did check the fuses this morning and they are fine. Thank you for taking your time and reading my short rough draft essay guys.
