Post by: yewame on March 02, 2011, 08:15:50 PM: ck77,
thanks for the pointer. The funny thing is,the more info I gather the farther the answer lies! Now it seems I rather just bite the bullet and send it back to their respective ADs. It's just that with Sinn, the experience with my U2 whereby the crown fell off (tat's another story altogether) is not entirely pleasant.......

Seems that few reported Sinn's QC issues.
Here is the one from terenceterence, on PVD issue.

For specific repairs (sinn u2 argon gas). you have to take it back to AD.
