When the OP PRO models first came out there was a rash of people switching out OP 30's for OP 50's, OP PRO's, etc.

Location: Upper Left USA		I would hope that upon sale the Salesperson would do an inspection and if the cable was broken they would check to see if everything was correct.

Filed under Old Resentful Memories: In 2003 at a local Music store I noted that the preamp on a 2003 Collector's had an OP30 in it and not the OP40. I pointed it out to the Store Manager. Their knowledge of their product was not what I would consider sufficient.
