barend Gunslinger Registered: 05/20/05 Posts: 112	Thinking of buying a refurb, anyone having a bad experience with a refurbished 990? Bit cautious here, as last year I got an expensive ProntoPro from Philips on Ebay, and it got broke 6 months later- warranty only 3 months... Barend

In the five years I've spent in the forum, I've heard nothing but good things about Outlaw b-stock. Also, I don't recall for certain, but I think the standard warranty applies to the b-stock (you might want to verify that with Outlaw). _________________________ gonk HT Basics \| HDMI FAQ \| Pics \| Remote Files \| Art Show Reviews: Index \| 990 \| speakers \| BDP-93

I see that there is one on the shopping page now. I'm surprised, because the unit is SO GOOD.

nfaguys Desperado Registered: 04/09/05 Posts: 500 Loc: Maine	Oh.....I forgot to mention: I like the 990 to the extent that when I needed another unit for another system I bought another 990. _________________________ Living Room: 5.1 Surround and 4channel inline room 990/7700/6-KEF-107s/LFM1 x 2/ SMS Awaiting Trinnov Millenium dts decoder;Digital Director Players: Tascam CD01U/SonyCX455 x 3/DV955/BDP83 Old Sony 60" SXRD TV Zone 2 (also liv-Room: listening to music while Mrs watches TV): Crown SL2 preamp/D40 Amp/Stax Headphones My "Man-cave": 4 channel-only inline room.

harp795 Gunslinger Registered: 03/04/02 Posts: 104 Loc: Louisville, KY	I have purchased 4 B-Stock Outlaw products. The LFM-1, Outlaw 950, Outlaw 990 and Outlaw 755. All have been completely free of any defect, scratch or other issue that would distinguish it from new. Even the manuals where completely sealed. Buy with full confidence. _________________________ "A smooth sea never made a skillful mariner"

NRBQLou Gunslinger Registered: 02/22/03 Posts: 122 Loc: Denver, CO USA	Add me to the list of happy B-Stock buyers. Got my 990 new, but my 755 was a B-Stock and I couldn't be happier (well, I could be, but that has nothing to do with my Outlaw gear ;-) I would jump on the 990 if it was still available - maybe you can call the Outlaws and get them to install the firmware update before they ship if they haven't done so already. _________________________ Integra DRX 3.1, Outlaw 5000 Fronts - Golden Ear Triton 2, Center - Martin Logan Motion 8, Surround L/R - Energy Audissey A5+2, Sony XBR65X850E Oppo BDP-83, Sony UBP-X800 Roku Streaming Stick + Music Hall mm5.1 table, Ortofon 2M Blue Cartridge, Cambridge Audio 640P Phono Preamp, Pro-Ject Speed Box Belkin Pure AV Power Conditioner Audioquest Type 8 speaker cable, Monoprice speaker Cable Mostly Monoprice interconnects

barend Gunslinger Registered: 05/20/05 Posts: 112	Thanks guys, I'll go for the B stock then... $140 rebate is a nice bonus! I've been looking at Arcam and Lexicon offerings, all far above my budget... Barend

Quagh Gunslinger Registered: 06/07/06 Posts: 16 Loc: Charlotte	I got my 990 this way and I too initially thought that they were somehow "defective". Turns out they were returns. I also didn't have to screw around with the software update! They did that for me in Mass.! Doubly nice since I'm a Mac user and would have had to borrow a Wintel laptop to do so. I'm a happy camper now! _________________________ Outlaw 990-750-LFM1-Wharfedales-Sony KD34XBR960-Oppo 970-etc-etc-etc

I tried this when I ordered my 990 B-Stock yesterday and they declined. Oh well... _________________________ -Ron rbmiller a scattered d net
