| WARNING - USE UPS FOR SHIPPING RATHER THAN FEDEX We checked with an Audio Dealer who ships a lot, and he advised us not to use FedEx, because they do use a lot of poorly trained contract drivers (many who do not speak English and who do not care how they handle shipments - they're much less cost... | |
| WARNING - USE UPS FOR SHIPPING RATHER THAN FEDEX SBA will ship your item strapped to a pallet with shrink wrap and instructions "do not stack" - which is about as safe as you can get. Plus, they will give you a real person to talk to who will make sure your shipment is secure. And... they will a... | |
| WARNING - USE UPS FOR SHIPPING RATHER THAN FEDEX Wow... when I started this thread... I had no idea it would elicit all of these great incidents and suggestions of how to prevent destruction of your shipment by FedEx and UPS. Keep em’ comin’ But... in the meantime... give us the link to where / ... | |
| WARNING - USE UPS FOR SHIPPING RATHER THAN FEDEX Ditto - exactly the same experience with FedEx this past week. The driver was throwing / rolling the package around, which he'd already torn the corner off of - a 75 lb package about 2 ft square and 15 in deep - because he couldn't lift it and di... | |
| WARNING - USE UPS FOR SHIPPING RATHER THAN FEDEX No doubt the only safe way to ship "high-dollar," heavy, bulky equipment is SBA or BAX - forget about FedEx and UPS.They may be fine for smaller, less expensive shipments, but not for "the good stuff."See the "Amps Forum" post by someone who is fa... | |
| WARNING - USE UPS FOR SHIPPING RATHER THAN FEDEX By far the most informative and helpful post in this discussion, from which hopefully all will benefit. I just obtained a quote from SBA on an expensive item I'm about to ship. The representative is a local person, who I can look to and trust to... | |
| WARNING - USE UPS FOR SHIPPING RATHER THAN FEDEX I think you both missed the point.The point is... the FedEx policy vs that of UPS. UPS policy does reimburse the shipper for damage to the container... and... FedEx policy does not. How much simpler can I make it. It has nothing to do with what... | |
| Synergistic Red Fuse ... Here’s the AH site: http://www.audio-horizons.com/pages/fuse.htmlRegarding the sound of the AH Platinum Ref fuse... it may be a bit warmer and richer than the stock fuse... and... maybe a bit less clear in the upper mids and highs than the stock... | |
| What used speaker would you buy with $20,000-$35,000 and why? If not the Linkwitz Orion's or LX521s, or the Pure Audio Project open baffle speakers - which very few speakers can match... And I could only accept a "big name" brand (though pricey)... I would consider only the Nola speakers in your price range.... | |
| Synergistic Red Fuse ... Here’s the AH site: http://www.audio-horizons.com/pages/fuse.htmlI recently purchased the AH Platinum Ref fuse for my AR Ref 3 preamp. I do agree the preamp sounds superb with this fuse!But... it also sounds superb with the fuse that came in it - ... | |
| Anyone Ever Heard of "Sonus Fidelity" Speakers???? I would suggest Audiogon... offer some kind of warning for any seller who has no history on Audiogon, since many Audiogon novices might be tempted to purchase from such a seller, or simply might overlook the extra care that should be taken when pu... | |

| Back to it - Practical speaker upgrade If it weren’t for the WAF, I would suggest you will find it impossible to obtain better sound than you can obtain with the Linkwitz Audio LX521 Open Baffle Speakers - very few speakers, if any, sound better. There was a pair with the crossover and... | |
| What used speaker would you buy with $20,000-$35,000 and why? Regarding the Linkwitz speakers... even after hearing the various YouTube videos of them... I was a bit of a skeptic... until... I got my Orions driven by a good set up.Now... I'm a believer! There are very few speakers that can match them (Orion... | |
| Linkwitz Lab Loundpeaker baffle The proof is in the listening...Once you’ve heard either the Orions or LX521s you’ll understand... and your search will end! |
