shipping boxes for heavy electronics
"When using a pallet, ask the shipper (or do it yourself) to attach cardboard pyramids to the top of the box(es). this is a very common technique (trick) used to prevent carriers from stacking other stuff on top of your shipment ;~)"Sounds like so...

shipping boxes for heavy electronics
Elizabeth nailed it to the T. I have a lot of packing experience and will say that if you follow her advice you should be fine. The only thing I would add id to put the same dense foam in BOTH boxes. Buying a Parasound box works too but I find th... 
It's all over now, baby blue. Or is it not?
Wait it out and see how it goes. My first never looked at my stereo once. My second made a bee line right for it as soon as he started walking. So I just went downstairs and turned off the stereo breaker and my rig sat there for 15 years or so wit...

Help me put a system together for my son
Thanks for the suggestions.I have a neighbor just bring over his Forte model 3 amp for me to try out with the Maggies. I didn't know he was interested in selling it. Anyway, will try to hook it up later and give it a listen. Any feedback from anyo... 
Took my Levinson amp in for repair
You see these kinds of posts pop up every once in a while, but you hardly ever hear the "other" side of the story. So I don't know how anyone can give a fair opinion as to what could or should be done. In any event, I wish you luck and hope things...

Anyone else receive low offers right away ?
Orelayer,"Same goes for the buyer"Like I said, the seller owns the item. It might be a buyers market right now, but the seller is still in command. I think a lot of buyers think all sellers are in some financial trouble and need to sell the item. ...
