| Another UPS Horror Story Care Audio knew of his background when I spoke with them. They knew he was selling off equipment to pay legal bills but never said anything.Still no resolution to this. It is supposedly going to be repaired and returned to me but nothing yet. | |
| Another UPS Horror Story Still no UPS inspection so I called them. They told me there will be no more inspections, they are finished.So, now I need to wait out all of my consumer complaints and small claims cases. May just have to write this off. I also recommend you stay... | |
| Another UPS Horror Story Actually, I do think that the seller sent me a working amplifier. Before I bought the amp I contacted Sunil at Care Audio, where the amp was originally bought and asked about the seller:"I cannot tell you what to do but Steve has come to my place ... | |
| Another UPS Horror Story Well in my case the seller, which I didn't know upfront, has no money to refund back. I spoke with his arresting officer in NJ and his wages and everything else get garnished by the court. Also, since the amp was damaged beyond repair, my holding ... | |
| Another UPS Horror Story Yes, the seller had the insurance, which I covered in my total payment. | |
| Another UPS Horror Story So the amp is back at the UPS store. Here is an email I just got from the seller, petro1511:"So they are calling in a fraud/security inspector. To open the box because they say the hole in the box is not the same as your pictures. And now the secu... | |
| Another UPS Horror Story Yes, I did file a small claims against UPS. I intend to also file against the UPS Store but that's in NJ and I am in Seattle. | |
| Another UPS Horror Story So the package has made it's way back east to Horsham, PA. Now the expected delivery date back to the UPS Store is April 6, one week from today. It's about 60 miles from Horsham to Lanoka Harbor NJ and UPS of course has no information why the deli... | |
| Another UPS Horror Story Actually, this is the first instance of equipment damage I have experienced through any carrier and I have been doing this for 50 years. As I see it, I was sold a working piece of equipment and I received a non-working unit. Either it was packed p... | |
| Another UPS Horror Story This original Allnic packaging is double boxed, although not with any real space between the inner and out boxes. I have a few Allnic pieces and they seem to make it from Korea to Seattle just fine by USPS.Crawford Insurance is who UPS uses for in... | |
| Cartridge Recommendation Phono stage has 68dB gain. I have tried all sra from having the headshell dead level to having the rear of the arm elevated 12mm higher than the headshell. Loading has been from 250 ohms to 700 ohms with about 5 settings in between. | |
| Reed tonearm w/ Raven One table-how's the match ? Here's what Steve sent me on the eff. mass:The hardwoods add effective mass and tend to favor lower compliance carts, although only slightly. In any case, don't get hung up on wood choice. It matters very little in sonics and cart choice, unlike m... | |
| Reed tonearm w/ Raven One table-how's the match ? I just got a 12" Red Cedar Reed 2A from Steve Dobbins to go with my SP-10 and his plinth (which is gorgeous and enormously heavy.) This will be used with my Kansui cartridge.Steve mentioned that he found very little difference between arm material... | |
| Zu Omen or Tekton Lore I also just got a pair of Lore's. They sound very good right out of the box. My temporary apartment is a truly horrible space and can't be acoustically treated right now.What kind of positioning are the rest of you using? I have them equilateral s... |
