[USER=34]@Shonver[/USER] Surface mount components has been with us for yonks, is reliable and stock standard today. Have you noticed how many pieces of equipment today have so much vacant acreage inside of them. Cyrus, among others have perfected and continues this form to date, successfully (and critically). That's the production side.From the after sales/service side, more-so here, it's our ability/inability to deal with surface mounts that is problematic, among other things. Age/history, use/abuse, new/second hand, were all the products the same/different models of the same line, etc, etc, are all questions that can be added to the above. Example : cd players/transports - how many dated, even newish players have problems with their drives,let alone replacing them?Old adage : it's easy to judge a book by it's cover.... (Now that's a general statement I'm making,nothing personal inthere! )
