Just figured I'd give an update on the Ear+HD. I am no longer an owner of the Ear+HD, when I sent the amp back to MAD Lloyd let me know that he received it and was going to look into the issues I had with the amp initially and also I had asked him to repaint/replace the chassis (at my cost, which I had told him I didn't have a problem with) due to the paint coming off the edge when I wiped it with an alcohol pad. A week went by and I e-mailed him to see the status on the amp, and he said he didn't get around to it yet. I was a little disappointed being that he knew the amp had issues from the day I received it, so I explained to him (nicely) that I thought he should have checked it out when he received it being it was already paid for and Had these issues when I received the amp, popping crackling, no gain on the volume (which started working an hour or so later).To make a long story short, he preferred to send me a refund (which I wasn't looking for at all, I wanted the amp). So I tried to explain this to him, and he still preferred to refund my money, so I wanted to, but I wasn't persistent anymore after the second time explaining I still wanted the amp.
So I read between the lines and understood he just didn't want to do business with me. I'm real sorry this happened, because the little time I had spent with the Ear+/RS1i was very nice, and I would still love to have (want) the amp, but I feel he is frustrated with me, and I tried my best to make it as easy as possible for the both of us but I just think he is too busy and doesn't want to deal with the situation. So I'm very upset over this and I am not in any way what so ever blaming him or bad mouthing him about any of this at all. I just feel its a shame I can't own the Ear+HD, and wish things wouldn't have gone this way at all. So being I feel I can't have a Ear+HD, I was looking/reading threads about the WA6 for the RS1i's, any thought on this amp, or my present situation on the Ear+HD?
BTW,Lloyd did get back to me and told me the amp tested fine, so maybe it was just the power tube. And once again, I'm not intending, nor am I bashing him or his product in any way, please understand this, I just felt the amp should have been looked at upon arrival, and I do understand he is a one man operation, and is swamped with work but I still felt this way about the issue, and now I'm out an Ear+HD.
