In Reply to: No conclusion jumping was attempted but I may be guilty of trying to raise the bar a bit. posted by Audiophilander on June 13, 2015 at 03:45:57:
As my senior brain understands it the lifetime warranty only applies to the original owner. If so that's the cause of my concern. My buying one of 'Roger's' amps doesn't (even) presently enter the picture. I contrasted 'Roger's' warranty with Bryston's 20 year warranty which goes with the amp, not being confined to it's original owner. One of our fellow inmate's recently surrendered his listening room and expressed (right here) the possibility of his selling his amp. If that came to pass AND if I were a potential buyer, it is likely that I'd offer more money for it if it had a lifetime warranty as insurance covering the cost mechanical breakdown, in the event of failure. (Maybe his amp even has a lifetime warranty covering the cost of its repair, I don't even know.)
Roger might consider matching Bryston by offering a 20 year warranty covering the cost of its repair (to any of its eventual owners), if and even when it became necessary.
Please kindly correct me if I'm wrong in thinking a secondary owner of his amp must bear the cost of repairing it even if it failed after a couple of months of its manufacture date.
You write:
"I have no information about the resale value of Magtech, but it's bound to be pretty solid with a lifetime warranty."
(Good for its original owner, possibly BAD for any subsequent owner.)
I ask, lifetime warranty only to its original owner and none to any subsequent owner? If so in principle, BAD.
