Think I’ll keep dreaming of the DartZeels ... at least that won’t cause my car insurance to explode!

I might have some insight as to why so many have been for sale. I’ve been resisting this post waiting the outcome of customer service but here goes ... First preamp had status LED go out day after install. Over a month later the replacement shows up and has a buzz in the right channel out of the box ... first one didn’t. Also now the led on one of the amps has gotten so dim I can no longer see it so it’s basically out too now. I’ve officially asked for a refund since I’ve never received a functioning system. Hopefully that works out as I’m tired of swapping out defective gear. I hate to post this as it did sound freaking amazing. Really too bad.

Absolutely understand you being pissed, you have a right to be. However, this is the first mention on the internet that I’ve ever seen of quality issues. I’ve never had any issues with mine. How they address your issues will tell us much.

Yup ... not very interested in a 3rd 523 though. Luckily I still have my 326s that has worked like a champ.

Heard back from Harman support today and they were diligently trying to gather facts. I answered their questions and they are promising to get back to me quickly as they want to understand how it is that I’ve received the only two 523s to fail since launch. Some people do get struck by lightening twice I guess. Maybe I should buy a lottery ticket? Seriously though I do think they really want to understand what is happening but probably going to be at least a week before I have any idea what they are going to do. The 326s is a fine preamp that I have enjoyed for the last 4 years but the 523 is in another league. I’m getting the feeling the dealer nor Harman is going to be willing to issue a refund even though I’ve paid for this 3 months ago and never received a fully working unit yet. I’m trying to be patient but i really have lost confidence in the 523 reliability since both units had issues right out of the box. Sorry for the long sad story ... maybe just venting a little. Thanks for listening!
