A Manufacturer that pays return shipping
Agree that the dealer take care of the shipping if you purchased them at full price, not at 40 to 70 percent of retail, because that is not a reasonable arrangement.Full retail equals dealer or manufacturer. Deep discount and you are on your own. 
Amp transformer buzz/hum from DC on AC line?
Are you sure it's not related to a dvr motor running? Not sure if you have a dvr but they can cause a racket if not isolated. 
LEBEN CS600 OR CS300X
I just read through all of this and maybe it's me, but I don't understand what kind of sound, or changes in sound, you are looking for. I am a prior Devore Super 8 and Nine owner. I understand the strengths and opportunities of the line but I don'... 
Transparent or Nordost?
I'm more excited about the new power cords with proprietary technology than any other cables. I have a few Frey pc's on order and can say I agree with Xti so far on the interconnects and speaker cables.Not better but different. 
What Integrated Amps have the sonics of Separates?
Earwig,I suggest starting a new post and you will get more responses. Nice looking system. The Ascendo seems to need power, though I didn't see any impedance spec's on website. 
Transparent or Nordost?
The Red Dawn LS does not lack bass and I would say comes close to the Frey. I have a combination of TYR and Frey and have been using some Red Dawn LS and think they are great. The old RD was thin. 
Synergistic Research - NEW Element Cables
I climbed the SR ladder for a while with a mix of acoustic reference and precision reference. Also the power system with some precision and hologram a and d cables with the powercell 10 se mkII. Most I owned and some was on loan including the tuni... 
Synergistic Research - NEW Element Cables
Someone is going to get quantum tunneled! I've heard grand demonstrations of SR cables and have been very impressed. I just couldn't deal with my room looking like the worlds largest jungle gym for hamsters.

Warm Rich Lush Speakers...Recommendations?
I say be careful what you wish for. I had the old Vandersteen 5's and loved them in many ways but I stopped listening to things like flamenco and small scale acoustic music. I really missed the vibrant and lifelike qualities that I like. As good a... 
Anyone tested the Synergistic Research Vibratron ?
Some would rather get taken out by a MIG than get quantum tunneled. I have to say that I fall into this camp.This guy just didn't understand the proper setup of the vibratron. He clearly didn't know what he was getting into. 
Anyone tested the Synergistic Research Vibratron ?
I know a guy who was quantum tunneled with the vibratron. He was never quite the same. Wait, are we talking about the same things? 
Grills ON or Grills OFF?
Grills are like bras. No need for them unless children are around. 
Speaker Cables for VANDERSTEEN 5 speakers
I had a hard time pulling good upper mids and highs from my 5's over the couple years I owned them.I wouldn't spend too much on cables because of the weird terminations. I had a friend with Nordost Tyr's that fit but they still didn't do it.I thin... 
Mach2Music mini and Amarra : Huge disappointment
I've got the mini with a QB-9 dac and love it. Be careful what you wish for with hi-rez files. I've downloaded many many 192 kHz files and most suck. The hi-rez game has been something similar to a scam IMHO, at least from some companies.
