Jeff, I'm not sure. It was brand new, still in packaging and not a mark on it. I trust my shop, they don't fool with people that way.

I just do not like the cable they use. I don't trust it. A lot of people use one with no problems at all and thats great for them. I just have a complex I guess. For what these rest go for, I expected more. I never once had a problem with the cable on the NAP. It can be a bugger to get into the cable slide, but once there and locked down, you never have to worry about it. Also, its much quieter IMHO.

To each there own. I just wanted to share my opinion on the thing.
