'Exorbinet' - isn't that the new line of Dom Perignon? Tastes like peaches?

My own, first time, 2 weeks ago, personal experience?

(that's right I'm answering my own question)

Ebay sucked - all the stuff I ordered showed up a week or more late...even though the three seperate sellers said it would arrive the week before...in one instance, it arrived in a fed ex box turned inside out...(A for effort?)

All the stuff I ordered, however tardy - showed up exactly as billed and in good condition...

Dale - I don't know how you packed it - but your package could've been slapped up next to something that could've fuct them up..you didn't mention the price - I live in an apartment and have relinquished the Bass for the Peace with my neighbors...in fact, my TV - is sitting on my Pioneer speakers - they're about 3 feet high. They stand as a sad, and silent reminder of the force and vigor with which I deployed them against not only mine, but everyone's dentistry..

Where I work - we 'lost' 1/2 the components in transit for our backup Tower Camera...that's available 24/7 online - our crucially redundant equipment could be in a snow drift somewhere...so much for showing local conditions..

As far as the audiophile thing goes - it's part of my job - our Euphonix just got a software upgrade...I mix audio in what amounts to a warehouse with echo, wireless mics, wired mics, microwaves, satellite, framestores - so on and so forth...oh and an intermittent HVAC system I'm convinced they're milking the owners for. But you could fit what I know about HVAC into a thimble..

At home - I practice and listen with varying degrees of results...as you might imagine.
