I am glad to see this subject out in the open. I frequently wondered why someone would send a perfectly good piece of equipment back to a manufacturer. It is a PITA physically packaging and bringing the piece to be sent as well as a probably expensive little endevor. I send things in when they need to be, not for innocent checkups. I have a hard time believing in innocent check ups. That said, I don't think it would stop me from buying such a piece.
Manufacturer checkups
This question is in reference to an older preamp I recently purchased with which I have had no prior experience. Some classifieds state the item was recently check out by the manufacturer and given a "clean bill of health". With an older item that has no functional or visual problems and no obvious sonic deficits, is getting that item checked out worth while?
Thanks
