I used to love speaking to customers who were
considering purchasing Brand X valve amp. When prompted, they claimed
that it came with a very generous (1, 2, 3) year warranty. "How long was
the warranty on the valves." I would ask. "Oh, 90 days." Was the usual
reply. "How much to replace all those KT88s?" "Dunno, maybe a couple of
grand."


** As if they would all fail at once after only 90 days.

Massive straw man fallacy.

The only kind of logic TW ever uses.

Still hate the Sony CDP101 - Trev ?

Course you do.



Imagine trying to sell a solid state amp, but only providing a 90 day
warranty on the transistors...


** Another idiotic straw man fallacy.

TW breathes and dines on them.

The life blood of all snake oil salesmen, worldwide.
