(I meant mixed bag, not bad above)
Only thing I've heard that's close to your issue is that they've made the decision to stop offering upgrades to their Ref Phono 2 to SE now that the Ref Phono3 SE is out.
I'm mostly a CJ guy and never have this kind of problem with them. For instance you can upgrade to Teflon caps forever on older units from what I've seen.
I'm very glad that a lot of people on this thread have had no reliability problems, but if you do I you'll see what the others are talking about.
