Agreed. Nor do I want to bash anyone here either... but it sure doesn't seem like something one would usually hear of especially given the selling price, build, performance and so forth.
I know I'd not want to have to go back and repair all my units a year and a bit out for some innocuous low cost item I could fix during the building of later models. It'd be better for everyone all around. No maker wants that sort of word out on the street about their products, if you think about it.
I've spoken to one other owner of this product recently via emails, and he has had no such issue. According to him, his pre-owned purchase was even sent into Gryphon as part of the sale proceedure to have it checked out and refurbished if needed at the factory as it had some age on it, and the factory said all was within new specs and no work was necessary then or in the near future.
For my own piece of mind now and going forward I think I'd ask a few other dealers of their own exp, and maybe the factory too. Doing that should give you more texture and a wider lens with which to appraise the situation.
I did that with my latest amp purchase and the results were quite informative and diverse depending upon whom I spoke with. Ultimately however all was set right and I was satisfied entirely. The maker was the most forthcoming of all those I spoke with and gave me a better perspective than some of the dealers.
Good luck
