Great to hear positive stuff like this! Kudos to Cambridge Audio. Thanks for posting.
Excellent support from Cambridge Audio
A few months ago I had purchased a Cambridge 840 C CD player on Audiogon. It arrived in perfect condition and I prided myself for having saved $600 off the $1595 retail price.
But...it had a small problem. When first turned on, there was a harsh, obnoxious hissing sound from the left channel. It would disappear after two minutes and the unit then worked brilliantly. The guy who sold it to me left it turned on all the time so never noticed.
Well after about four months, the hissing came on and did not go away. The device was unplayable and I sent it in for repair to their service agent, Audio Plus in Toronto. I was hoping the repair would be inexpensive.
Much to my surprise and delight, they did not charge me for either repair or return shipping despite the fact that I did not possess any warranty with the unit. As the very friendly rep, Michael Rousseau explained, "Since your problem was caused by a known design fault that was later corrected by Cambridge, we felt that we could not charge you for this, as your unit was bound to show the fault from the start."
I present this case as an example of how an honorable company runs its business.
