It's a tough sell, Berny. Plausable deniability, were I the top dog. Unfortunately, my lovely wife is smarter than me, and however opaque my motives, I stand transparant. Pants down, like. Unless I can muster a heck of a deal, it'll go over like a Led Zeppelin.
Well, the hum is from only the front right channel, and occurs whenever a speaker is connected to the channel, and without any input, in fact, no input cable connected at all. Bummer.
I will call the retailer today, not hopeful of any warranty repair, but the guy is very helpful.
I am still mulling over the Outlaw, but that purchase maigh have to include a necklace, if you know what I mean.
Haha. I just tossed the necklace in for a laugh, it wont be necessary. My partner knows I do what I want(for better or worse), but if she sees something REALLY sttupid coming up, she tells me.
When she does tell me I know I had better take a closer look.
I could, however make everything easy and quit smoking. That would pay for the stuff in short order.
The owner said to bring it on down, a common repair, main power FET, has them there, along with an upgrade set for cheap, I bring my meter for a quick 101 on the amp. I love a good dealer.
These guys have some pretty good stuff, I hope somebody checked out their site/store.
I called Outlaw today, and got hold of the site admistrator(they wear a lot of hats). He guided me to a special with the 990 pre-amp(their best) with 5x 200m mono amps for 2223ud$. I am straining for a reason not to purchase.
5 amps set up on shelves with handmade connects and 10g sparkling wire, all exposed.
Do what I did - just name the day and stop. SIMPLE! I smoked since I was fifteen and ended up with a 30+ a day habit. I loved it. I still love the smell, but after more than eighteen months I have more than paid for all our home entertainment gear. Stop smoking and reward yourself big time - then you'll feel too guilty to start again.
Thanks guys! I fished for some support and got it! I quit for 7 years before, went back in through the divorce. I decided last year to quit and buy a motorcycle, but I have now set my sights upon new audio.My wife likes the deal, amps as opposed to a 150hp V-max.
