> A couple hundred up front for never having to make another home audio equipment purchase in your life is some serious savings. I have a rather nice NAD amplifier that I bought about 29 years ago. It had to be repaired once at about the 6 year mark. Recently, it has developed a new electronic failure mode that I don't believe can be repaired. So ... yes, but let's not overdo the "never have to make another home audio purchase" part ...
