That 2k Dark Side table is up for preorder. I'm still not a fan of what they did with this one. I'd love to see the designs they rejected before this one was picked.

It’s a little too Free Mason for my taste.

I was thinking Sourcepoint 10s when I traded from the Lintons. My guy at MD said they were challenging to place and recommended the Fortes. Same money so that wasn’t a factor- new SP10s vs open box Fortes. Thinking about it, he likely made less money selling me Fortes at a discount.

Wait a sec…..you traded the Lintons?

This one is better (and costs a lot more than $2k):

It’s like the Kevin James meme but for audio

I get its usage, just curious why you have that sitting around at your disposal.

Marantz Trade In Program - through November 10

Marantz Trade-In | Marantz

Yep, for reference the shop is George Meyer AV, a licensed NAD repair shop in LA.

When I get a chance today or tomorrow I'm gonna give em another call now that I have a clearer head, and see if I really did hear them correctly. Because it does sound ridiculous.

If you’re still looking, there is an open box Marantz PM6007 for a smidge over $500 at Safe and Sound.

Sorry, not interested in buying used or open box after this whole ordeal.

Called the shop again to get more details. Apparently the $850 quote is for a full capacitor replacement, and testing and replacing just the faulty ones would take more time, and thus cost even more. They still couldn't give me a reason why this could have happened (They speculated the unit was 10 years old before I let them know it's far younger than that). Ridiculous, don't send your NAD products to George Meyer AV in LA.
