>>Since all components were purchased through Audiogon, were they from authorized dealers? Warranty still good?<<
an authorized dealer was selling the P7 and AV8. they had been in his showroom as demo units for only a few weeks. while technically not out of the box new, they weren't actually "used goods" in that they never were sold to anyone. he wanted to make room for some new krell gear in the showroom, so he put the av8 and p7 up on audiogon for his dealer cost. then he threw in an older model DV88+ dvd player (New) for free. so i got it and sold the dvd for a grand. full warranty and everything. the dealer wrote me 2 invoices: 1 for what i paid, and 1 that he sent arcam claiming i paid full price.
then i posted on audiogon in search of a dv27a. a dealer wrote back with a killer price, so i took him up on it. turns out they quoted me a price for a lower model (which is why it was so good) and they actually stuck to it. so that worked in my favor
the audio magic cables were all from audiogon.
the vr-2s were from nick. he had a pair that were chipped, so they were going to send him new ones. he had the new ones sent to me because he got some vr-4s.
and yes nick, i love this hazelwood finish!
