The above 2 responses are correct. I purchased a Yamaha DSP-A1 Integrated Amp/Processor 4 years ago as a "B" stock item, brand new. It has been a perfect piece of gear. I don't know why it was designated as such, as I could never find anything wrong with it. I do know this, I paid $650 for a $2799 piece of gear (it was the gold anodized unit with rosewood side-panels)and it had a standard Yamaha warranty except for "cosmetic" issues that might arise. I'd certainly do this again!
What exactly is "B stock"?
I'm looking at Denon DVD/CD players, and I keep coming across "B stock" merchandise. Would someone who is genuinely knowledgeable about this subject please give a clear, accurate definition of exactly what B stock is, and just how it differs from A stock? (Yes, I have a vague, generalized idea of the difference, but not one I'd want to take to the bank.) Thanks.
