Odyssey Kismet Reference series.
So sorry to hear of these problems. I had a Stratos, upgraded to the Kismet for 7 years and it was extremely musical and reliable. There was never even a burp or fart from it. 
Klipsch Palladium P39F and Probably the Entire line Major issue!
Note to self, “don’t buy Klipsch”.  
Interesting/unusual concert pairings.
I saw Livingston Tayler open for Jethro Tull in 1972.  It was a disaster for him. People were throwing eggs and tomato’s at him and yelling “we want Tull”. He got booed off the stage.

Caveat about the Cable Company return policy
I think The Cable Company has gone down hill.  I had bought from them years ago and found the experience to be good.  2 years ago, I ordered an Acrolink cable listed on the web site.  I got a message the next day to call them.  I called and was to...

What is the protocol here?
