[QUOTE="dB-r, post: 4591855, member: 574699"] Factory Refurbs usually = junk. High school aged kids clipping and replacing only the blown parts, soldering the new parts with mixmatched date codes to the leftover legs sticking out of the board from the bad parts that were clipped off. Poor soldering work, wrong parts, you name it. I have seen alot of so called "factory refurbs" and unless they have been reboarded or repaired by a reputable shop and you know it for a fact, I would stay away from them. dB-r Refurbs = good as it gets, other than re-boarding. Which doesn't look over the new amp board for potential problems like we do. We solder the mosfets top and bottom on almost all of our refurbs to help prevent breakage. You won't get that from a factory refurb, even if it's a reboard. [/QUOTE]
