"Amplifiers and CD players etc can be packaged great but the sheer jarring of such a drop can easily knock loose a solder joint and it only takes one to be knocked loose or even ajar. "
Nope, that's just not true unless the joint was defective in the first place. Of more concern in things like CD players, turntables etc is shock to the moving mechanical parts. Since this is so common stuff is both designed and packaged to try and prevent shipping damage. In general if the unit is in it's original package which appears largely undamaged, you should be good. As a reviewer, if you find a manufacturer whose products tend to be DOA despite the latter condition being true please boldly note it so we can avoid them like the plague.
