[QUOTE="gunz4me2, post: 7257353, member: 613729"] Unfortunately, I have owned both and I still have some HCCA Digital Reference, GX, and SX amplifiers in my collection. I only needed to do minor maintenance on them, like changing capacitors and JFETS. I had a 4 channel O-Fryin between 2002 and 2004 that went back to Orion 4 times over the course of its 2 year warranty. After the warranty was up, it went out again and was fried so bad, I chucked it in the dumpster at my townhouse. In my opinion, the old school Orion amplifiers used some of the best parts available at the time of their manufacture, and I think that is why they lasted so long. OTOH, it appeared that DEI's Orion amplifiers used just what it took to get by in order to maximize their profit margin. I can't comment on the new Orion amplifiers because I swore I would never purchase another DEI manufactured amplifier. [/QUOTE]
