[TenTec] OT: Chinese Amplifiers

Yes... I was not saying any thing negative about TT's prices. They 
reflect the difference between buying from TT or from some stranger on 
the Internet - even without a 30 day warranty, TT tends to stand by its 
stuff, so you get that extra measure of assurance - and that is worth 
something.

You give good reasons to buy from TT HQ.   I got lucky with mine,
it was barely used maybe ten times or so, and was super 'minty' - but 
one would definitely be safer dealing with TT HQ than some bloke on the 
internet.   It all depends on your threshold for economic pain and 
ability to absorb a loss.

I have been lucky... only one eBay purchase has gone poorly and that was 
from a guy only 20 miles from me!   (I purchased a Jupiter from the 
estate of an SK, and it needed repair work right away.  But that is 
exactly the sort of rusk to take and even considering the cost of 
repair, I still did OK by the time I sold it.)

Yes... especially in business...

GOOD EQUIPMENT COSTS GOOD MONEY...
...AND IT PAYS TO BUY GOOD EQUIPMENT.
