Companies with the best warranties

[gni]

I though it would be nice to have a quick reference
list of companies with the best warranties. Seems
that companies that stand behind their equipment
with long warranties build a better product. That
better built product may lend itself to easier repair
thus easier modifications and upgrades yourself. . .
all this is fine but will void that warranty if you
do so. . .

Company: Parts and Labor
Decware: Lifetime except tubes
Rogue Audio: 3 Year Limited, 6 Months Tubes
Parasound: 10 Year Parts, 5 Years Labor

Good job Bryston. . . 20 years on parts and labor. . .now that is
standing behind your product. . .

If you replace your amps every ten years then the price is
really 1/2 of listed. . .every 7 years then the price is really
only 1/3. . .

2B-SST: $2650 for 100 wpc [$13.25/watt] {$132/yr} ($1325 - $883)
3B-SST: $3450 for 150 wpc [$11.50/watt] {$173/yr} ($1,725 - $1,150)
4B-SST: $4100 for 300 wpc [$6.83/watt] {$205/yr} ($2,050 - $1,367)

Rotel has a 5 year on parts and labor. . .1/4 of Bryston.
The 100wpc digital amplfier RB-1072 is only about $900.
Buy one every 7 years for $2700. . . only use the unit
for two years out of warranty. . .
