I used to work at an audio store 10 years ago. At the time a 3-letter British mid-fi manufacturer had a lot of problems with their brand new recievers/integrated amps. The brand new ones that were sold and came back (about 4 out of 10) were sent to our in house technicians who would fix them all up and give them proper bias adjustments and calibrations. In fact, these "B" stock items were BETTER than brand new, same warranty and 30% off. I still like those mellow sounding but gutsy and plenty of amp little guys.....
Is B stock a safe bet?
Curious to see if anyone has had any problems when buying B stock from an authorized dealer. The savings seem too good to pass up. I recently bought a Denon 3910 B stock with no issues and saved about 500.00. Looks and sounds great. Was I just lucky? Are there any horror stories?
