I am thinking of purchasing two components from the relatively new
Nikko "Professional Series".  The components in question, the
Alpha 440 Power Amp and the Beta 40 Pre-Amp, both got excellent
reviews in the June 1983 issue of Sound Canada, and both seem to be
reasonably priced.  At least in the Toronto area, however, the only
dealers that seem to carry Nikko are the type that have no interest
in such nicities as post-sales service and maintainance, and this 
makes me a little nervous (apart from the question as to whether I
should be patronising stores like this), even when purchasing
non-mechanical components.

Has anyone out there had any particularly good or bad experiences
with Nikko equipment (the "Professional Series" in particular) and/or
Nikko factory service?  If there is sufficient response, I will
summarise for the net.  Thanks very much, in advance.
