Know of any true bullet proof equipment stories?

Vintage Crown DC300A amplifer. Bought vintage amp last year for my son. The amp was poorly packaged and as luck would have it, was dropped during shipment to me. Part of the chassis was bent. It went back to Crown for a factory check and chassis repair. The drop only did superficial damage to the amp. Otherwise, even after 35+ years since it was built, still specs perfectly. My son loves it! I wonder if it would work under water, maybe as a boat anchor????

I certainly agree with the comments on Crown gear. And in the highly unlikely event something does go wrong, you are going to be supported by a longstanding and credible company that takes customer service seriously. Much the same can be said about Bryston. I have owned much Bryston equipment over my many years in the hobby, and only experienced one problem (which may have been my fault). Bryston repaired the problem -- free-of-charge -- within one day and thus I was only without my component for about one week, shipping included. INcidentally, when that issue did occur I sent a Sunday e-mail to Bryston, and received a reply from Jim Tanner within a few hours on that same Sunday.

"Any speaker made out Kevlar!"

OK, if you want go there. The original Cerious Technologies speakers were made out of ballistic ceramic with a carbon fiber wrap. I believe the wrap was kevlar or a close relative.

This is pretty much the best one I've heard.
