Posted February 11, 200916 yr I was debating on buying a refurb or not. Db-r has some good deals, but being that they are rebuilt by db-r and not sundown, i was kinda iffy if the build quality would be the same. Maybe its just me but when i hear refurb, i think defected product that will probably break again. They do have a 1 year warranty which is helps. I guess im just looking for a little input on what everyone thinks about refurbs. Thanks
February 11, 200916 yr I would trust Db-r they are actually the authorized sundown repair center, so they know the product. Also, once something is fixed does not mean it will break again it could have been broken for many reasons.
February 11, 200916 yr no worries about DB-R he is a very much authorized to repair the amps he also helps give Jacob Ideas to make future revisions of the amps much more durable
February 11, 200916 yr Chris from db-r is the man. They do great work...don't hesitate to buy from them
February 11, 200916 yr I think most of the time if you send your amp back in to the manufacturer, they just give you a whole new board and send it back as refurbed. DB-r may take the time to check everything and only replace the parts needed, but I wouldn't hesitate about the quality. Besides, if anything would break after you get it back because it wasn't replaced during the refurb, I'm about 98% sure it would happen within the year warranty.
February 11, 200916 yr I just got a saz-3000 from chris at db-r.basically what he said, is that most amps that come in are from vibration type of damage, not fried. that from a factory, they have a tendency to have light solder in places. He fixes that, and double checks everything else... so IMO better than new....mines a beast....actually, just demo'd and had another jumper.... YOU CANT HANDLE THE BASS.....

February 16, 200916 yr are refurbs really trust worthy? theres alot of good mecanics but im a bit skeptical on using something that broke down once
