Hi Iceman
must admit, if that E550 had been around before I bought the E470, for that money it would have been a no brainer.

I've just read this for the first time. S##t BS, nothing is ever straight forward. Hope it's sorted very soon.
Perhaps, once the amp is settled, it'll be good to have a shoot out with my Tucana. Both the same price (RRP when new).

Hope you get this sorted soon. After spending so much money and the anticipation of having it arrive, for it not to work when it does arrive would be a hugely frustrating for me. On the one hand it doesnt fill with you confidence over the build quality and QA process but then I suppose a dud slips by with every manufacturer from time to time.

They going to pick this one up tomorrow and probably will not be till next week when I get the replacement amplifier as got to order one from Yamaha them self’s it’s just one of those things it happens but I am disappointed obviously
I’ve had a Marantz power amplifier go wrong out of the box before so it’s not the first time it’s happened it’s just a pain but it’s better not to get stuck with something that got a serious problem .
i will not let it put off Yamaha as I think they do make some good amplifiers and if I looked at the likes of luxman it would cost me more money and not much difference between Yamaha and luxman expect the price is more .

Make a note of the serial number, so that they don't fend you the faulty one back. I wouldn't expect them to, but you never know for sure.
Ignore all the idiots who tell you to buy what's best for them. Stick to the new Yamaha which is best for you.

Sorry to hear about the faulty amp. I'm sure you be happy with it when you get a replacement. Theny you can enjoy what is (to my eyes) the coolest piece of hifi equipment in the world.
Bet it sounds alright too. 😉

Hope the collection goes as planned. I’ve forgotten whereabouts you live, BS, but here in SE Wales we are fairly heavily snowed under.
Was amused that the ‘aspirational’ amps listed above are low power class A. Nobody with true audiophile credentials seems to want high power any more! I’d be happy with a Mark Levinson or Dan D’Agostino amp myself!
Good luck and keep the faith.

Right they received the amplifier back today but got this email to say they have it back but I am under the impression they will be replacing it with a new one from Yamaha but this email confuses me a bit because now I think they will try and fix it . Am I wrong or right ?

You will need to confirm....as they are entitled to fix and return the one you bought.
You should have rights under distance selling regulations to allow you to cancel the sale, if you wish.

I have 14 days to cancel but thought as it was faulty out of the box it would be replaced without questionCnoEvil said:
but my worries of them fixing it would be what parts do they use will they be the same quality as what Yamaha built amplifier with and will it sound the same it kind of feels like the amplifier has been rapid and you never feel the same again .
You cannot assume they will replace it. They probably don't sell a lot of them, so could well want to send you back your original one. My advise is to confirm what is happening and say you want to a replacement, or you will cancel.
I hope, as JJB suggested, you noted the Serial No.
This is your chance to cancel the order and get an A49 at a saving of 2k from Rick (which would get you a Majik DS).

yes I definitely took the number down of the amplifier but my concern is because I borrowed the money it makes it messy cancelling the orderCnoEvil said:

not sure I have 14 days to change my mind with the loan agreement that was made between audiovisual and the loan company they useCnoEvil said:
ive just sent them a email saying I wouldn’t be happy in having the amplifier fixed and following the phone conversation I had the unit would be replaced by a new one from Yamaha and if thats your policy to fix it and not replace it then I would cancel the loan agreement .
Make sure you get a clarifying email ASAP
Also, make sure that you are very clear, if you are cancelling the order ie. I wish to cancel the order as of today, unless I have a guarantee in writing that the amp will be replaced.
Give them no wriggle room, or they could spin it out until your rights have passed.
