Hificlearance on eBay.

Are these guys legit? They seem to have an impeccable record which I find a little hard to believe.
 

In particular looking at the Marantz NR receivers. 

They claim manufacturer refurbished and offer 12 month warranty.

They sell refurbished products, so expect the prices will be a lot lower.

Unless I'm mistaken, that's the old QualiFi distributor's direct outlet. 

I believe it is legit. It would likely consist of ex-demo, refurbed, and run-out models.

Thanks Marc. It does seem legit but their perfect track record got me wondering. 
The NR-1508 is perfect for my needs and good value at $499.

I purchased a Marantz receiver from them a few years ago, amongst other things. I was very happy with their service. They have a respectable bricks and mortar business too.

I have bought from these guys a few times.  Been no problems.

NR-1508 is a cracking little box of tricks!  I paid $1k for mine around Christmas 2018 which was a very good deal at the time.

I have purchased off them before (a while back) with no issues.

Yes I think it will be perfect for a modest 3.1 system.

They had the cheapest genuine Thorens belts I could find, purchased a bunch prior to them seemingly running out of stock.

 

One delivery got delivered to a house down the street and by the time I got it, it only contained half the order. Re-sent at no cost, no questions asked. Great customer service.
