Quibbling over $54.00 is really silly, considering the costs associated with virtually everything these days. Shipping costs should be expected. Anyways, what would piss me off more is the month long wait without an amp. Outlaw should give out "loaners" to tide you over until your unit is fixed. How annoying is it to have a setup worth the price of the Jones' car that YOU CAN'T USE. Especially when it is hooked up to the TV, etc. (in my case it's a projector that's being used as a TV, so I'm way out of luck with the sound options).

Anyways, that's my 2 cents.

Aren't you glad you didn't spend $10k on that new Krell... ?
