Who else can't sleep the night before their fancy new gears arrive?

My new Harbeth SL5PLUS XDs arrive tomorrow and I’ll sleep just fine.  Thank you beer! 😂

@elliottbnewcombjr,

Good...Welcome back.

Or the day(s) after!

My first 'system' from Sam Goody, 1967 with wedding money: TT, AR-2ax Speakers; Fisher 200T SS receiver.

Promised delivery, looking out the window, oh yeah, there's the truck! TT, Speakers, NO Receiver. 

Phones broken all the time in Brooklyn, walk down to Myrtle Ave, pay phone, promises, promises, finally receiver arrives a few days later.

At my age I'm sound asleep by 10 every night. I could be having a Ferrari delivered the next day and I'd still be asleep by 10, but I WOULD be up before dawn to start playing with it!

The BMC Ultradac looks stunning IMO. My excitement is usually drowned out because of irrational anxiety that the purchase is damaged during shipment or DOA. This all began many years ago after receiving a speaker that was literally broken in half by UPS. 

@lpretiring .  Hope you're having a speedy recovery so you can get back to your tunes, and that CJ amp!  Enjoy!

@shtinkydog

Oh my gosh...NO, perhaps I misspoke. I had the seller ship the amp with signature required. This way I couldn’t be left with a box outside I’d been advised not to lift. Then a beautiful sob story and $5 later the box was inside my house in an area leading into my living room.

Up to now I’ve never had a package stolen but this would be one of the last shipments I would tempt fate with.

@lpretiring I commend you for having the ability to leave out anything CJ related in your driveway, or anything for that matter, for 12 days.   I could never do that in my hood. 

I sleep the night before, but I do have a Christmas Eve sort of feeling. It's good fun.

Don't think I qualify. Had cataract surgery March 15th and soon after noticed a nice deal on a CJ amp. It's been sitting in the box in my entranceway for about 12 days now. In a couple more days with a friends help it should be safe enough to lift it up to my music room. 

Been sleeping just like always.

@pdreher haha me exact same. 

Happens every time!
