How Long Is Too Long?
I already mentioned that it's not a supply issue.  Covid is not to blame in this instance.  I spoke to the owner about it.  He's simply "swamped" with new orders after a Stereophile magazine review on one of his products.  As a result, those of us...

I might just wait for him to post on the steve hoffman forum and respond to his post by saying, "Hey Robert, how ’bout less time on the internet and get to fixin’ my Lounge Audio gear!"

@jeffrey75 , Believe you're right.  His name is Robert Morin. He seems like a nice enough guy but his business acumen needs work.

@tablejockey, Thanks for the support. I will give it another month which to some is too much leeway and some others maybe not enough. Then I’m going scorched earth! 🤣 Hey, I might just do that anyway. In the meantime I’ll continue to search fo...

@ozzy ,  Do you think I should start a thread here and other audio forums trashing  informing others of my experience?   It may be good to inform the new customers what they may be in for.

By the way, I'm running a Technics SL1200GR and since the LCR MkIII and Copla have been MIA, I'm using a MoFi Studio phono pre.   Cartridges are a Benz Micro Glider, Ortofon MC Rondo and Audio-Technica VM540ML.

@grislybutter,  I can't seem to get him to respond or answer the phone.  I guess I'll just have to wait it out.   In the meantime, I'm thinking about a Parasound JC3 Jr.  When I get the Lounge pieces back, I'll make sure they work and then try ...
