I've been lurking on the sidelines here, and just had to add my $.02. I have to agree that such a misleading banner tells an awful lot about a compnay and its practices. Maybe BC is an honest enterprise at its core, but they aren;t getting my business. This policy is just too front-n-center to be a mistake or to give them the benefit of the doubt that it was overlooked.
On the other hand, companies like Moscode, and company leaders like George Kaye, are to be commended. His newest amplifier, the hybrid highly vaunted 200 wpc Moscode 401HR, is available for home evaluation in what George calls a 33 1/3 day evaluation. There are many things to like about this program, and this company. First, he doesn't need to do this, based on the incredible reviews the 401HR is getting. Second, his website goes out of its way to insist that you read the fine print. What you'll find is that other than a hard stop at 34 days, George and company take on all the risks, not the customer. Sure, the amp needs to return in the same pristine shipping condition it left in, but otherwise the customer pays no shipping....either way! The customer pays no restocking fees (unless damaged, of course) and the customer gets 100% refund on his Discover card or other form of payment. I took George up on the offer, eval'd the incredible amp for 30 days, and unfortunately found that my system had become too warm for my tastes with its insertion (mainly due to room issues and many tubed source/preamp choices). George even tried to ask me to keep it a few days longer and try various tube rolling ideas. Net/net....THIS is the way in-home evaluations should take place. And should I ever need a product in a category that Moscode competes in, they are my first choice and I use a "why not Moscode" approach to every evaluation. -- ted_b ------------------------------------------------------------------------ ted_b's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=3289 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=31562 _______________________________________________ audiophiles mailing list audiophiles@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/audiophiles
