[QUOTE="sundownz, post: 6818680, member: 549523"] In order to make any statement about statistical reliability you need to know how many amps I sell -- which you don't -- FYI. You must also understand that I almost always send replacement amps rather than repair for customer -- so therefore amps are available for sale through dB-R rather than going back to the customers after repair. Only a very small % of amps sent back to me are repaired -- most are just replaced to make it faster for the customer. Not sure why this is so hard to understand but I see the same argument all the time about "so many" amps available for refurbishing -- unfortunately offering good service by quickly replacing an amp opens Sundown up to this sort of uninformed statement. Also most of the ones you see are from customer abuse and errors and/or operation well outside of specifications (eg: running 1500Ds on 20v is a bad idea for an extended time period). Not only that but I ALSO offer to upgrade people who are well out of warranty to a newer amp for their old blown amp + cash so I get a few more that way (these are 2+ year old amplifiers which have usually been through numerous prior owners) -- but I guess that is just another reason why "Sundown is gay." Oh yah... AND we sell through local dealers and offer *excellent* exchange policies for them... you would be amazed what people do to amps that have NO education on stereos... not even from internet forums... ("I want the low ohms!" - Actual customer). [/QUOTE]
