| HELP! Large speakers fell over during shipping. Anyone who would put speakers on a pallet without strapping them down is pretty much guaranteeing that they will be damaged. I can’t believe anyone would do that. Tell him that was his mistake and he is responsible for what happened. | |
| Better Records White Hot Stampers: Now the Story Can Be Told! It may be that the German pressing is also a Hot Stamper and that the two records glupson ruled out immediately are what everyone else is listening to.glupson, would you go out and pick up another 20 copies to test that theorem? | |

And you chose such a unique way to demonstrate your bravado. Analog is better than digital? Never heard that one before!My suggestion ... |
