I would not bet on it. Getting these repaired, even in warranty can be problematic. The designer is in Italy. I can repair anything that goes wrong with it. I just had one returned for poor solder joints from the factory on the FET's. This is one of the few things that is hand-soldered on it during assembly. No problem fixing it.
