"Boycott talk"? That statement is the product of a fertile imagination. Read the first post. It contains an email, copied verbatim, that originated with Sim Audio. It is their statement of fact, not mine. I did not make mention of a boycott, suggest a boycott, nor imply anyone should initiate a boycott. I do, however, wish I had read it seventeen years ago. It would have had a profound impact on my amplifier purchase decision (a Bryston 3B was on my short list). To paraphrase, they have a monopoly on all Sim Audio product repairs. Now if that fact gives you a warm and fuzzy feeling about the altruistic motivations of Sim Audio Ltd...

As for me, I believe John Dalberg was so right about absolute power; it corrupts...absolutely!"

only person who took it that way.

But ultimately you're correct. "Boycott" was not said in your OP.

What i said about Sim Audio still applies: and they are "stand up" as far as I am concerned.

your being unreasonable, but that OK,

Did you like the amp when it was working?
Fuzzy feeling and woolly thinking. - jusbe 15:15:36 10/21/14 (0)
Both are best avoided.

Most audiophiles and music-lovers I know would be delighted to discover that not only is a 17-yr-old product still supported, the manufacturer will undertake repairs and restoration themselves. I think you're reading too much into their concern for your audio well-being, which seems genuine.

We take responsibility for our choices and we move on, or we rot.
