Sending Check for Payment to Sounds of Silence


Hello,
I'm about to purchase a couple of Vibraplanes from Steve at Sounds of Silence and the payment he requested is a check. Steve sounds like a really nice, legit and honest guy but I've never sent out a check for this much money to pay for any audio gear. Anybody work with him in this way before?
Thanks

Steve is a stand up guy. A check will get you the lowest price, but if you are worried, pay by credit card and offer to pay the vendor serivice fee for use of a creit card.
Steve is a well regarded member here. You most likely realize he designed and manufactures the Vibraplanes. I am actually considering a pair or two of cables from him, but have not contacted him yet and have no prior experience with him.
Of course a pair of Vibraplanes are more costly than the pair of cables that I am considering. Otherwise, I myself would have absolutely no concern with sending a check. Tho, I could just send up a couple of the boys from NYC here..... ya hear that Steve? :) HA
I made business with him. Very good, very reliable and he does take care that everything works well.
I've bought a couple of things from Steve here on Audiogon. EXCELLENT transactions with absolutely NO problems or issues.

Highly recommended!

Let's not get too carried away.
I've had several dealing with Steve, I think highly of him and would not worry one minute about sending him a check.

My Vibraplane came from him and I paid by check precisely as you questioned. I know you did not ask but I think the Vibraplane is a wonderful product, my system would suffer huge loss without it.

You'll understand once it's in the system and you hear what it does long term.
