Sounds like Narlus has fallen in love with the disembodied voice. He will soon be torn between listening to the recording or hanging up in case she calls.

Did you ever get in touch with Marantz?

yeah, i did. the CS rep was about as useful as dating advice from Graphics. since my amp was already in the shop for repairs, i didn't need anything from them aside from a person to bitch to. even that wasn't satisfactory.

I bought an old used marantz amp a while back. It kept blowing out fuses and ****. I lit it on fire. Best 12 dollars I have ever spent.

Good to find this thread, my 15 year old Kenwood ampli/tuner/thingy is on its last legs. Time to replace, now that I have some flow. I used to dig Bang and Olufsen, are they still around?

Time for a trip to corporate with a baseball bat. Sounds like it would be faster and more productive.
Walk in with the bat on your shoulder, say to the first person you see, "Soooo, if I have a 16ohm transverse polarity coretron, and I'm trying to pump 1400 watts at 98 volts through that....what amplifier do I need to power my car horn?" Then right after the first sound comes out of his mouth crack him with the bat. Keep going through the office till someone out runs you.

This thread came to mind as I enter the third hour in the queue to speak to someone on the optimistically named Asia Miles "Hotline" in Hong Kong. Thank god for Skype, only a few dollars so far. And my son just made me a chocolate donut.
