I still think there's a twist, and it's in the insurance bit. I think that insurance compensates you for a loss; it does not oblige you to repurchase a product. Your car gets pinched, and you decide that a car is more hassle than it's worth - a UK-only perspective ;) - the insurance company still has to cough up. In the case of CDs, you have had a loss of the physical CDs, but you have not lost the right to play them. How you (and the loss adjuster) value that loss is a matter between you and the insurance company. Hence my earlier post stating that this might be an insurance fraud issue. There is an ethical issue too - should you rebuy? I say no - buy lots of new CDs and spend the balance on a Transporter :) -- adamslim SB3 and Shanling CDT-100, Rotel RT-990BX, Esoteric Audio Research 859, Living Voice Auditorium IIs, Nordost cables ------------------------------------------------------------------------ adamslim's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=7355 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=29003 _______________________________________________ discuss mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss
