What is the protocol here?
The problem is the record is out of print and it truly is in mint condition. I have asked him on 5 different occasions on what date he expects to be back. His "a few days" turns into weeks. I am trying to give the benefit of the doubt as I really ... 
What is the protocol here?
UPDATE:  I still have not received the record.  I paid for it on June30th.   Last week the seller refunded my $4.00 shipping charge and said he would be gone for a few more days.  He said as soon as he got back, he would ship the record.  This was... 
Opinions of GoldenEar Triton 1
@audiotroy ...............I think you you may be confused, I own the 9K Triton References, not the 6K Triton 1R. I also own the original 5K Triton 1.  
Opinions of GoldenEar Triton 1
I own BOTH the Triton Ones and the Triton References.  The Triton Ones are connected to a McIntosh MA6600 200wpc Integrated, a Sony HAPZ1ES Music Server and a McIntosh FM tuner.  I use a Furutech power conditioner.  The sound is to die for!!!  I l... 
Are silk dome tweeters actually silk?
Yes, it is REAL silk and the reason they never sound bright. 
PASS LABS X150.8 AMP to McIntosh MC462?
I heard the MC462 and liked the sound, but then again, I am a McIntosh guy.  Someone is selling one here for a little over 5K which is a steal.  The listing says only a few months old.  No affiliation with the seller.  I have a MC302 and it runs s... 
C2600 recommendations
@vegasears...……………...The latest firmware addresses  the problem and fixes it.  Audio Classics updated my C2500 firmware before it was shipped to me. 
C2600 recommendations
On my C2500, I am now using the Gold Lion tubes 12ax7.  Most of the guys on the McIntosh forum have done the same with their Mac tube preamps.  It gives you the best midrange of any of the 12ax7 tubes. 
What differences should I be hearing as my new system breaks in?
@skyscraper...…………………….I too have the first Mobile Fidelity pressing of DSOTM and the bass is excellent, but the treble is subdued a bit and that sparkle that is in the album is gone. I never cared for the MOFI version of this record and find the ... 
Music Direct - Audio Hardware Seller?
I spent thousands over the years with Music Direct.  First, on equipment and the last 5 years on records and never a problem.  If they don't have an item in stock, they won't charge your CC until it actually ships.  They are one of the best out th... 
Opinion on CD Transports
Back when I was using my Parasound Halo Integrated amp, I was also using a Cambridge Audio CXC.  My first one skipped so Spearit Audio sent me another one which worked flawlessly.   It is a good sounding transport.  I got mine from Spearit for $39...

Due to the incessant spam ads on this forum I'll stop contributing
My wife and I visited the Spam Museum in Minnesota while we were on our way to Rapid City, SD.  It was an eye opening experience.  I remember being served fried spam in the elementary school cafeteria back in the 50's.  Didn't like it then and wou... 
What is the protocol here?
@riley804,I assume you knew beforehand that it would be 4 weeks. Had I known that up front, I wouldn’t be annoyed. I paid in full for my GE Triton Ref speakers back in January 2017 and was told a 3 month wait. Well, I waited 6 1/2 months and was n...
