got the 990 today . I'm very pleased with the condition it showed up in . The box was in great shape wit no tears or dents . Even if it would have seen rougher handling I'm sure it would have done just fine . The 990 was in a bouble coragated box with plenty of isolation from the sides of the carton . Very nice packaging .
Unfortunatly , I will be unable to hook this up do to no Balanced cables showed up with 990 .
