[QUOTE="dB-r, post: 6244310, member: 574699"] Service/Repair is part of any company who has a product's business model. If your product can only be replaced, not repaired, you lose money, re-boarding is expensive, and your products that could be back on the market via a refurb program (which gives you a bigger presence in the market) rather than in the the dumpster when they break.... Think of it this way, only a fool would have a Sundown amp that is in the trash, when it can be repaired at a low cost, perform as good as new, and instead of a customer who normally couldn't afford a Sundown amp going and buying something less expensive, they can buy a refurb and in exchange for a shorter warrany still get a Sundown amp rather than buying something lower-grade. Gives Sundown a bigger market presence. A smart move, make no mistake about it..... SAE-1200D v.2 upgrades: Double sided PCB: Reliability, repairability upgrade More caps, possibly better caps: See above + possibility of performance enhancement Better layout: Less vibration damage. Still possible, but not as likely. Shorter PCB traces mean better performance and less noise generated from the circuits. Better quality audio. [/QUOTE]
