| Two defective pieces in a row - unreasonable to demand refund? Aggravating, worrisome, but, I agree, let them get you a NEW (not fixed) unit, even if you have to wait.Go in writing, if the 3rd unit has any problem, you want a full refund, not store credit.I would send a copy of that, and the prior problems to... | |

| Jazz listening: Is it about the music? Or is it about the sound? ’’Not So Special Keepers" (any genre)That’s why I went from two arms (MC Stereo; Mono) to 3 arms ( added MM Stereo).
