| Restocking Fees, 30-Day Free Trials A 30 day return home trial offer......How do you know the amp you are buying "as new" has not been sent out as new before, or a couple of times before you?In the case of the dealer in question here I would hope any equipment returned would not be ... | |

| Why does the copy sound better than the original Al, but I thought you used one of those fancy CD-Rs for the copy, one with superior jitter characteristics. See, that's what's so puzzling - why you say the copy sounded worse than the original even though a superior low jitter CD-R was used for t... | |
