Bung99 - Indeed. If you are looking for a warranty with used audio gear you'll need to look at Bryston. Can't think of any others who have transferable warranties. Even Bryston requires a paper-trail for same these days. Ain't no free lunch.

That said, how do you like the sound of your Chinook? Done any tube-rolling?
