anyone have experience with "replacement cost" insurance, and Allstate?

Well, thanks to a lightning strike I am without my Mark Levinson 326s. It is at the shop now getting looked at but I am not holding out a lot of hope. The 326s is not longer made, and I am worried about what Allstate will consider as a replacement.thanks for any advice you might have on this.

Thanks Audiobunker, that's encouraging, and also why I pretty much only buy local from this B&M store. I have been going to them for over 20 years. They loaned me another streamer so I could test out the rest of the system.  They really go above and beyond.

Yes, luckily I am close to a very established Levinson dealer. They are looking at it now. I had Transparent Power isolators on all the gear, they are fine... unfortunately I did not protect the incoming DTV line and it ran in there taking out the DTV gear, TV, my Cambridge audio streamer, pre amp and router. Luckily the 360s DAC, 37 Transport, 331 amp and speakers made it through.

I know Allstate is going to choke if they see a 10k replacement bill.

dweller, that doesn't make a lot of sense? What if I was gifted all of the items? They would have a value of 0 dollars and be uninsurable?

well, looks like the 360s DAC didn't make it after all... : (

My Levinson dealer is local. They took at look at the units and determined they were beyond repair. Allstate sent a guy by to look at them and take pictures. I am now waiting to hear back from them.

Allstate came through!

I am very happy with the settlement they offered.
