The Lengths You ve Gone Through

When I ordered my VPI HW-19 Mk 4 TT I had it delivered to my office in downtown Chicago. From the office I carried both boxes 7 city blocks (7/8 of a mile) to the train. When I got off the train I had to carry them about another 1/4 mile to the car. I needed a BIG BEER after that. Thanks, Doug

I can relate to Sean's post. I'm in Massachusetts, and have gone on road trips as far as western Pennsylvania to pick up gear. I hate shipping! Last summer I bought a pair of a/d/s L1530 speakers from a guy in southern NJ. These are huge! I fit one (just barely) in the trunk of my Crown Vic, and the other went in the back seat. I had to put the front seats all the way forward, and I'm 6'4" tall. Needless to say, I was happy to get the a/d/s speakers, but the ride home to Massachusetts was no fun!

I once had to get up off the couch and walk all the way over the the stereo to turn it on because one of the 12v remote on leads wasnt seated well. It felt like a death march

Lross, thanks for the laugh : ) We can always use a bit of levity at this joint, especially when we are talking about how obsessive we get about this hobby. Sean

My back pain is a constant reminder that I need to make friends with my neighbor if I am going to keep swithching gear. Those 150lb amps and speakers are a PITA to get in and out of the house, packed and unpacked, but somehow I always do it by myself with the exception of my wife looking on.
