Would appreciate a group consensus on Agon purchased amps


Hello all,

I purchased and recieved a pair of Bel Canto Amps form a fellow Agonner. Amps were well packaged - I paid extra for shipping with Fed Ex as the seller wanted to use UPS. I was informed prior to the sale that he did not have original boxes, and he did package them very well - no issues there.

The question I have is would any of you be bothered if you bought a pair of amps form someone on this forum and they shipped both of them without any power cables?

I rang him and inquired about the missing cables and he informed me that he did not use stock cables for any of his equipment - and the next sentance suggested that I go on Amazon and purchase "$3 dollar cables" for them. (his words).

Also, I sent an email to Bel Canto support inquiring about replacement cables for the amps and after one week have not gotten a response from them. I also find this unusual, but it has nothing to do with the seller.

For me this is a matter of principle, and I feel like I should send them back - I would rather pay more and go through a dealer next time just so I can have some level of client care.

Am I making more of this than is necessary? 

What would you do?

Thanks for taking the time to review.

Some equipment manufacturers no longer provide power cords, don't know if Bel Canto is one of them. I also don't regard lack of power cords in this particular case as a deal breaker, we're talking about pennies on the dollar here.

 

The fact seller didn't have original boxes signals likely loss of stock power cords. I always keep original boxes, stock power cords remain with box as I exclusively use aftermarket pc's.

Yes.  You are making more of this than necessary.

It would be different if the amps were initially shipped from the manufacturer with a special cable made specifically for those amps and they were essentially a packaged deal, meant to work best together.  

But missing the throw-away cables most manufactures toss in with their gear?  I personally wouldn’t care.  But then I don’t use stock cables.

Sending the amps back for missing PC’s seems a bit…oh, what’s the word…

I beg to differ with the above responses. Power cables should be included with amps. You should not go as far as sending them back for the missing cables but I can’t blame you for your complaint!
