It all started one fateful day when Stuart shot me an e-mail about EPA-100 and EPA-500 arms to go along with my newly acquired SP-10 MK2. I did a lot of research and decided to pick up an EPA-100. My first purchase was very disappointing, receiving an arm from a prolific Hong Kong eBay seller with shattered bearings.
This EPA-B500/EPA-A250 combo were advertised as being NIB. The B500 had been partially unwrapped from the factory packaging while the A250 was claimed to have never been opened. Having a newly recharged audio fund due to selling off most of my stuff before my recent move to NYC, I decided I had to have them.
They arrived yesterday. From careful inspection, I do believe the base has never been mounted, and the armwand was indeed factory sealed with the original tape holding the two case halves together.
So, last night I got to open an A250 that hasn't been touched since it left the factory. For me, this was worth the cost of admission, with the benefit of having a spectacular arm that I know has never been abused.
