Why does Esoteric refuse to update its older models ?

Esoteric is constantly evolving. They dont even use DAC Chips anymore.  There is no money in upgrading which is why companies don't bother with it.  ESOTERIC is always changing ownership which doesn't help with consistency either. They are always ...

I dont get that at all. FEDEX has their own Customs clearance process in Foreign countries. They dont have to go thru the normal customs BS when you send something thru the mail. You might want to call FEDEX here in the USA and ask what could the ...

You think thats bad??? Try sending a package to Germany thru the post office. Can be delayed in Customs for up to 6 weeks. Almost all my customers are in Europe.  Only way around it is to ship FEDEX....then there is no delay. I can send a package ...
