How Long Is Too Long?
Four months is definitely too long.... but you have done it so you are going to have to live with it and your backup phono preamp will have to do. I would give him another call but be nice or you will never get it back and in the mean time look fo... 
Wilson Sasha V
I think you summed it up when you said "I love the sound of my Sasha DAWS".  
How to prevent visitors from touching your system
None of my friends have ever reached out and touched my equipment even my 17 year old grandson who has had to touch everything else in my house. He has asked me about it though.....   
Would It Be Possible To Get Help Finding This Song?
You need to give a few lyrics... even if they aren't right it would get us closer.  
Shortest Product Demo Ever: Had to Hit the Eject Button and Get the #*@% Out of There?
I was at the Florida auto show a couple of years ago when I went into a large room with huge expensive speakers and the dealer had put on a record that made the speakers sound as if they were blown...... I was wondering what he could possibly be t... 
How rare is an audiophile
I'm the only one I know of.... When I was young, I tried to get my parents to buy a nice system but they thought it was a waste of time and money as I feel all my current friends feel the same way. It's OK though.  
Is there a ceiling limit on what you are willing to pay for an audio component?
Apparently my limit is just below 20K for my system but in my mind it should be below 10K. I'm apparently weak and rationalize more than I should.  
Was I Expecting Too Much
Sorry, I did misread the post.... I wouldn't buy anything from this dealer as he was obviously showing you he wasn't anyone you would want to deal with.  
Was I Expecting Too Much
I do understand where the dealer was coming from.... "I'm not purchasing now but down the road".... Demoing at your place when you aren't going to buy something is not practical. The bottom line is price so if he brings it to you to demo and you f... 
what to do with a stereo that needs repair
kidding.... just call Carousel Music in Dothan Alabama and make arrangements to mail it to them... They are reasonable and it shouldn't take long. When you talk to them, don't worry they have probably smoked something but I wasn't kidding about th... 
what to do with a stereo that needs repair
Ah... just mail it to me... I have a tech who is a genius and will touch anything that makes music.  
2023 AXPONA Show Report
I've been to a couple of audio shows... one was great but the second was a disappointment. and 500 miles away... flew down and paid for room to get bummed out. Would love to go to Axpona but I haven't lost anything in Chicago so that is a major hu... 
What is the VERY BEST CD album you've ever heard?
You folks who think everything is rock or pop.... I was around before rock n roll existed as well as pop although the other classes of music were already there for a long time. We certainly didn't call that music rock or pop for sure.  
un-becoming an audiophile
Forget it! It's impossible so get it out of your mind.  
More Bass
You want Bass.... Hook up a Mcintosh Ma6450 to your speakers. This amp has 4 times the bass I've ever heard on any other amp. When I use it, I have to turn the bass almost all the way down. You will never have to say I don't have enough bass again...
