I’ve had the same experience with Fed Ex. They used to be the best but they’re now the worst in my experience. I’ve wasted days waiting too. UPS has been much better. Not great but better.

In Canada, UPS is the worst. Purolator is not much better. IMO, FedEX is the better one but Canada Post is the best, and USPS is probably the best in the US as well.

Updating my rbh speakers Lrc. Rbh is changing the signature line driver's with the reference drivers and a new crossover.

Already done the center channel. Doing the left and right. Would the old drivers be worth anything to sell or build another speaker?

Less than 2 weeks ago, I decided to buy from Amazon.ca a Ninja Air Fryer which I had to return as it was defective. So I decided to request the same product model as a replacement.
I received the new item Saturday. I tried it yesterday and this one also has the same frigging problem. For the frying function, the timer won't operate longer than one minute. Most likely both items came from the same batch. This Ninja brand is among Amazon's biggest air fryer sellers. I was pissed off!

Today I just ordered a Cosori product from Amazon.com. It sells at 20% off for a limited time. Even with the currency exchange, shipping cost and duties, I'm saving $60 CAD from what it would have cost me with a purchase from Amazon.ca. I'm expecting to receive it Friday. This brand also has a store on Amazon' website. What I like about the one I chose, is that it has a square crisper plate so that saves countertop space:

Got them in last night. OMG, I never expected THIS MUCH difference between the previous Reference 1 Meta speakers and these Blade 2 Meta! It's not just a matter of they're bigger. Everything else has improved from soundstage depth and width to truly pressurizing the room with deep bass.

^^Congrats dude! Looks amazing!

 

[Eppie]

Congrats Ken, they look amazing. FWIW, of all the speakers Erin's Audio Corner tested, his favorite are the MoFi SourcePoint 888 and Blade 2 Meta. Enjoy!

I bought this pristine unit off of Ebay..

I guess sitting in storage does that but I got the capstans shiny and clean again with a Q tip and alcohol.

What is the vintage of that? Wood sides make me think early 80's max.

Very nice 3db, did you buy the new dryer to dry your Lp's after a run through the 'Spin-Clean' ?

Very Nice. I am currently using those WBC Canare cables with the Amphenol RCAs on my cd player and streamer, and I like them a lot. I paid a bit more for shorter lengths, so it looks like you got quite a bargain.

Import box sets have been my thing lately. Most are less than 50.00 and have a ton of stuff I may have never tried before. But at 1.00 to 2.00 bucks a disc it's worth a shot. Plus there is a ton of stuff I have always wanted. I have a few duplicates but not many.

Love Brubeck and Miles. Nice pickup.
