Warranties - Best & Worst - New & Used


I've noticed a few random threads on this topic, but thought I'd see if it stirs any interest.

Esp here on Audiogon, with used equip, which manufacturers have the best and worst warranties.. trasferrability, helpful customer service, no need ever for service (the best!)

eg
Bryston 20 yr *Transferrable* and friendly
Theta - original owner only
Jolita - grouchy? and non-transferrable

any other experiences of thoughts?

even if warranty is not transferable, who has great service anyway?

PS maybe lets not get into an argument about how evil this or that policy is.. I'm just askin' - stick to facts maybe

I believe that the warranty should be transferrable and that the equipment bought abroad should be covered too. However, I don't think that in this case US distributors or dealers must have anything to do with it.The manufacturer can do a favour and arrange the service with a dealer, but I have no objection to sending the piece oversees.Shipping should be split.
