Oh, crap.
The credit card company will refund your money and back charge the dealer. Seems like they played with your money for six months. Anyway, a reputable dealer would only take a depsoit = to his profit and not charge your card until the unit shipped. 
Can someone tell me what this song is??
... hmmm I can only hear Winter, Spring and Summer -- do I need to upgrade to a Pentium 4? :) 
scd 777es sacd sony mod worth it?
Richard Kern has just emailed me that the Audiomod.com parts for the XA777ES are arriving very soon. I've opted for the whole treatment, including Richard's analogue stage mods and the superclock.With respect to the performance of the stock XA777E... 
SACD review site a go Now, I need your input ...
Thanks all, for your input -- I appreciate the support and ideas. And I agree that balancing free expression with the "community" spirit of a forum is not an easy endeavor, requiring a high degree of diplomacy in order to build a constructive web ... 
Shakti Stone/Online Near Pentium CPU's
There will be no benefit at all placing one of these things near a CPU, but quite possibly problems if too close to the hard drive or other storage device. If the Shataki is magnetized in any way or emits any other kind of radiative wave, it can a... 
Tenor Audio - Anyone hear them?
.... about the price of loaded Toyota Camry.

sutts, go to the thread http://audiogo5.iserver.net/cgi-bin/fr.pl?ymisc&1002308344&openusid&zzLornecherry&4&& I posted a rather tedious explination of the how/what and where's of brokerage charges (entry prep fees). UPS has... 
Tenor Audio - Anyone hear them?
Heard both the 15W (driving Gershman Opera Savage)and 75W (driving Pipedreams) at the Toronto show two weeks ago. Best amp at the show, and the two rooms that had the Tenors were also the two best rooms -- by far. Lush but with absolutely no weakn... 
Tube amps that can hande 4 ohmsl
I have Aranov tubes on my Kef 4 speakers that are 4 Ohm. The Aranovs are noted for a good bottom end ....but I have a REL subwoofer also to help down low. Other than the Aranovs, many tube amps do have a specific setting for 4 ohms that will help ... 
Are you Guys Rich or What!?
My formula (and I think the formula for others in these challenging economic times) is one word: value. That means paying 33% to 50% of retail for most everything, unless the piece has a very high value already and is difficult to obtain discounte... 
Best Movie Soundtrack
I hate to be nostalgic, but the remastered "Sound of Music" DVD has some of the most beuatiful music of all time -- a true classic that I recently rediscovered. 
Tube amps and components in HT
Have Aranov tubes for front L/R and Marantz 14EX for rears, centre and EX. I then added a REL sub to the fromn channels only to help the tubes out a bit and it made a big differnce, more so for music, where my Velodyne 18HGS is too much of a monst... 
Best DVD Audio NOT SACD recordings.
Alan Parsons Project "Brain Surgery Salad" - best rock DVD-A - as good as any SACD multichannel that I have. Bueuna Vista Social Club is well recorded, if you like that kind of music. Doors "LA Women" is a remaster, but still quite good. Fourplay ... 
Listener fatigue
I remember listening to Elton John records through entry-level Stax headphones back in 70's with just a midfi Marantz receiver. I could listen for hours on end with no fatigue. The exact same recordings in CD now give me a headache after 15 minute... 
Why so many Flaky Buyers?
Jvia: as you point out, communications, or lack of, is the fulcrum that often determines whether or not the buyer or seller can leverage the sale. The communications factor is often as important as price, or more so. I find too many of us rely on ...
