what is "B" stock

It is refurbished gear from the original source. Supposedly returned defective gear, it has supposedly been repaired and repackaged for sale. Often the repair is missing, but no worry, the item comes with s shortened (usually one year) manufacturer's warranty. You then have the bother of taking it to a factory authorized repairshop. A minor irritation, but a big saving on the purchase price, usually 50 to 70%

"B" stock also refers to items the Manufacturuer used at Audio Shows and Conventions to demo their products for dealers and customers.

Does no one really no what B stock is? B stcok items are typically NOT items mfr's have used at shows. Those would be deemed "show demo's". Refurbished items are sometimes (incorrectly) deemed B stock, but they are not. Refurbsihed items are just that: refurbished items. Go to: www.hellohifi.com/about.html to read more. The greatest problem with B stock is that many of the people that get it don't know it's history and don't mention they are selling B stock. Here's a tip: don't buy B stock. We (HelloHiFi) don't sell B stock, and there are many reasons for this!
