Interesting, so why would anyone buy it for 1299.99 at a4 l which is where I bought it originally? Your comment doesn’t really make much sense. So your saying people would never buy refurbs(which is a blatant stupid remark)
It is not a stupid comment. Many of us long term members have somewhat of a bias against refurbs and for logical reasons. We have noted an excess incidence of problems with refurbs over the years.
Whilst many refurb units are in effect just open box returned units, or have had minor issues, many have not.
So a number have had intermittent faults, and when returned for refurb work perfectly. You can't fix a working unit. Then the unit is sold as a refurb and the unlucky new owner soon runs into the into the pesky intermittent fault.
Even if there is a major problem involving a board replacement, then that unit will have undergone major dismantling and rebuilding. These modern receivers are so packed in, the long term outcome is uncertain to say the least. So, refurbs are a roll of the dice, no doubt about it.
So a prospective purchaser has to wonder why you are offloading this unit after such a short period of time. You are a new member here with no 'street cred'. You have already come across "all mouth and trousers." That is not a way to advance you chances of a successful sale.
Lastly we all use quality cables, we just don't buy 'magic' cables. We are a science and engineering, 'best practice' based forum. Many of us do use separates, including myself. I have three full functioning separate AVP/power amp system operating in our home.
If you want to remain a remember here, you are welcome, but it would be wise to start with an apology to the membership for your totally uncalled for abuse.
