I shipped an RCM to someone that was home, he got the Fedex sms the package was 'delivered.' By the time he got to his front door, in minutes a porch pirate had made off with the box. The buyer filed a Paypal claim and notified his CC co. to stop payment. PayPal sided with me, I still had to...

Still wondering if anyone filed a claim, be it amps speakers or whatever comes in twos and boxed separately. Did you insure each for the aggregate value and were you compensated for the entire amount as if both were lost? Knock on wood, I haven't had this problem (yet). Somehow this devolved...

So when you ship/receive mono amps do you insure for the entire retail ammount or is it split 50/50?

I've insured mono amps this way before, and luckily not had to file a claim. Should he have bought 6k of insurance for each amp instead, and what proof of value would Fedex need to pay out the claim?

The irony is vinyl cut from hi-res digital files are often uncompressed vs streamed content. this subject was a hot topic in the 2010s. It was assumed streamed music would be played over a car stereo/earbuds/boombox and vinyl on a proper audio system. This was verified over and over by...

He makes all the same points that rummage through most of our thoughts. I went through a massive vinyl purge a few decades ago, and I'm now back up to several thousand Lp's (so much for purging).

So Elliot is leaving. Danny seems like he reluctantly got sucked into doing the show, If not for his few music recos I probably would never watch it. Jay is Mr. grievance, I think he loves being platformed and Ron will oblige hm. Meanwhile, those customers that actually support the...

Not trying to start a fire...this is posted for laughs.

A substantial minority of consumers lack confidence in their own decisions. back in the day when I hung out with my audio dealer friends on Saturdays, they'd joke about and bet who was going to walk into the store asking about some new Class A rated component in the latest Stereophile. Never...

The gear used and the reviewers listening room are almost immaterial. I’m interested in how the component under test compares with other gear tried using familiar recordings. In the early days of TAS, and HP in particular, they’d take the reader on a journey using familiar music demonstrating...

the hardest part was chosing the font size? I hope you didnt charge Alon for that. :p

Heard them several times in different systems the sound was always top notch. They lean more towards warm than bright, imo. They use an interesting topology with heavy use of op amps in the driver stages. The potential downside is being an integrated which means long speaker cable runs or stuck...
