| FUSE BOX delivers perfect protection and superior sound Geeez, so if a small child or animal bumps the power cord, I live 120V brass sluggo is exposed on the floor??? | |
| Innovative Autio in NYC just hung up on me Perhaps she was having a bad day, she’s only human…..did you try calling back later and ask for the owner? Everyone deserves a second chance before you put the whole business on blast. I agree that someone misbehaved, just not sure who. | |

| Hey Sota - Whatever Happened To Customer Service? @gnoworyta, ime, Sota’s lack of a response is more of an exception than their normal level of customer service. Also, don’t forget that Sota is not that large and some of their staff may be on holidays or working remotely. | |
