Because we never allow threads to get side tracked?

Hey greggp2, why don't you start a new thread with your questions, so as not to sidetrack this one....

 

[sawzalot]

Well what the heck happened? No pics. No squeal of joy.

Did you drop it on your hand and you can't type?
Did you wife find out and you can't come out to play?
Did UPS leave it in the rain?

Well here goes after numerous false alarms all day and finally a desperate phone call by me to our local brown hub outside of Atlantic city I was assured that my delivery was scheduled heres your tracking number verification yada yada wellI just got off the phone again and of course it was more bull in my opinion"is it just south jersey"so now I'm told that my item has been inadvertantly placed for delivery in the NORTH Jersey area they will have it redirected back to A.C. today I could pick it up at around 4.30 today or have it delivered on Monday A.M. so thats why no response I have been busy searching for kleenex and such my mood went to crap as I dot the tears of dissapointment anyway believe it or not this almost always happens down here in south jersey without a doubt I'm happy for you guys brown treated you right.

Man, that just sucks.

Would like to add that the little lady was not totally unhappy with my new toy purchase however we did go clothes shopping last nite and I think we will do it again and again

 

[sawzalot]

Man, that just sucks.

Yes sir it does ..however I have to lighten up and just realize that it is coming and all is good..

 

[sawzalot]

I hope they surprise the hell out of me and show up on a saturday..one never knows it could happen..Wishful thinking I guess..REALLY SUCKS.

Did you get free shipping with this? If not I would fight to get your money back. That is inexcusable.

Thats a great idea through all my anghst and dismay I never thought about that now that I think about it I missed work and all someone owes me a little more than an apology I am hoping for a surprise delivery today but I wont get too anxious

 

[sawzalot]

Won't be long now just a few more hours ..what a long weekend..obviously I cant sleep I feel like I'm in the delivery room.. what the ##**#!% I need rest.

 

[ParadigmDawg]

Did you take the day off?

Good luck!

I have been off for a little while thanks to a series of some lower lumbar epidorals painful and uncomfotable but the last ditch procedure before a more elaborate surgical procedure wich I apparently will need sometime anyway. I hope I can even lift this thing lol.

 

[Now Slappy]

Be careful. You want to be able to enjoy it, right?

Oh yeah, and we'll need pictures!

 

[ParadigmDawg]

No way you can lift that thing. I have a feeling you will watch in horror as the young, strong neighborhood kid steals it right in front of you.

 

[ParadigmDawg]

I must have been right, we never heard from him again......

 

[ParadigmDawg]

I fear his wife has buried his lifeless body.....

Let this be a lesson to you boys, follow my lead and always discuss your purchases with her first.

HeHeHe Well all I can say is that if not for the little lady I dont think I could have gotten it in to the house call me a puss but yesterday in the am I had some lower back issues after my dailey fix it felt better but then the rest of my body felt like crap.ya know what I mean just plain old felt like crap !! I just didnt feel like being at the computer so no posts sorry for that guys but enough of that.This thing is heavy the box says 78lbs but it felt heavier,I have a great shot of the driver carrying the unit he was goin take it right in the house for me but I stopped him at the porch,duh,he handled it better than I but hey he looked at least 10 or 11 months younger than me.So after looking at the box for awhile we brought er into the house and really I know its crazy but that was all she wrote for me yesterday,today however is a different story I,m all up in the whole get er done mode my designated area is not ready but I'm gonna set up something to get a listen and such I took some pics Ill try to get posted later today Thanks everyone for all advice ,info,and ideas I would not have made this purchase if not for all the info picked up here I definitely have the bug now and I realize its here to stay, I'm lucky to have a very supportive wife. I'm gonna play for awhile .

 

[sawzalot]

Oh yeah I did at least get er all unwrapped and set up ,plugged in ,and she powered up just fine and this slight hum I have heard guys speak of is ever so slight I would need a stethascope to truly hear it but dead silent it is not.I think its normal so I wont get too excited at this time.

Do you hear it only when you crank the volume up?!

 

[sawzalot]

Do you hear it only when you crank the volume up?!

Actually I meant to say it comes directly from the unit itself without any speaker connection at all just the unit plugged in and powered on but hey this is some piece so I am sure it would make some noise however slight it may be.Well now for speakers....

 

[sawzalot]

I left the amp on for one hour while doing other things with my room and went back absolute dead silent I shut everything down and hooked up my speakers just two mains for now OH MY this home will never be the same I wanted the amp to fill this room with great sound I think I will fill the house , garage and some of the backyard too OH MY its really awe inspiring for me My dog looks nervous..
