IEC input on my Mc462 just failed 😞

This brings up an issue that I have never understood. Any unit that I buy better be new out of the box never opened until it is installed by the dealer or by me. How is it that folks get to audition all this expensive gear in home including cables and cords before buying? All I can say is I don't want any gear that has been on the back seat or trunk of any vehicle or in anybody's rack. As far as I'm concerned it's a used piece and I don't want it. Or, I want to know it and receive a 40% discount. It's not even a demo at that point.

Charles,

Short answer is dealers keep certain stock as demo/loans and another way is to rent/borrow from an outfit such as The Cable Company which allows you to play with whatever cable you want for a fee.
