5 ch Amp just bit the dust

[beardog03]

I was watching a movie and the Parasound`s red high temp light comes on, so I go over to feel the top....it`s not even warm..


seconds later the red stanby lights come on and I notce the # 1 is red also..


no sound

nothin


deads



at least the lights still work !

That sucks Robert. I feel for you bro. Lets hope it is a minor fix.

[beardog03]

I have had a bad month man....

I am just disgusted with the way things are going..

at work we lost a major bid, and went down to core(74) and laid everybody off..

Core went to 68, and today I`m told we are going to 24


I came home to watch a movie and forget about work and the amp bites it and no surround system...


can it get any better ?

I`m disgusted with life...goin to bed

just needed to vent..


I`m out

[janmike]

Keep your head up Robert. Things will get better my friend. Have a good night.

Parasound amplifiers are notoriously anti-Harley.

[shadowofnight]

If its under warranty good...If not, I am local to the bay area if you want any help troubleshooting it .

[bluzrip]

(Good luck).

[janmike]

And the gates just opened up. Awesome.

Parasound amplifiers are notoriously anti-Harley.

Maybe he should just end it, now? Flare gun in the mouth? That's how I plan to go. Do it. Youtube it.

Cheers,
Russ

Forgive my crude interruption, but there is a deal on an ATI 5-channel job in the for sale section. :o (Good luck).

Nice plug for your sale.


It might just be a thermal couple that went bad, and the amp "thinks it's hot".

[dorokusai]

The ATI ain't no Parasound and that's pretty lame.

Obviously he doesn't understand our humble little internet community. Life in a new hood can be rough.

Hey, flavor of the month for Club Polk. The future, embrace it.

[danger boy]

Robert, sorry about your amp.. what movie were you watching anyways? hope the fix isn't a costly one..

[Monster Jam]

Well, even the best designed amplifier can crap out once in a while. The REAL measure of a company is how they deal with you in response to the crisis.

In my experience, H/K has been good, while Velodyne has been very good.

I'm not quite ready for an ammp, but Parasound has been high on my list. I hope Beardog follows up on this thread to let us know how Parasound stacks up where it matters most: customer service.

[beardog03]

I will call them today to see what I can...

No flare gun to the grill for me bro...
Flare gun to someone elses grill...maybe

THe amp is sort of old...HCA-2205a

I will see about fixing it, and the cost of replacement

S.O.N. ....I may take you up on your offer to help me take a look at it
I am across the bridge from the City...and Parasound is blocks from work in San Francisco..

They do not allow "walk ins", so I have to ship it 5 blocks to them

Pint up a general bill of lading, fill it out, drive up to their dock and tell them you are a delivery service. If you can't find a bill of lading PM me and I will mail you one. No way I would pay shipping and insurance
fees for 5 blocks

[beardog03]

I`m already on it !!
thought of that the other day...

I`m trying to get the same amp locally (craigslist)
with approx 80 hrs on it..

wish me luck....I`m goin in...!!!!
