The Lengths You ve Gone Through


Anyone have stories of the ridiculous things you've done upon getting a new piece of equipment? My 2 monents of glory, got a pair of Martin Logans from a dealer but didnt get home till 1230am when the family was all sleeping. I had to have those set up that night, so I managed to carry those 125lb beasts up a flight of stairs without waking up a soul and without any interior wall damage. Another time, I walked 1/4 mile from my car to the home with a Krell Kma 100 mono in each arm.

RCPrince,

Im no weightlifter, those amps were hanging low to the ground. A little cursing and a lot of hobling got me there.
Pls1's story is way crazy, I am looking to get out of my condo and into a home and the 1st thing I do look at is the room dimensions, unfortunatly, living in the San Franciso Bay Area, you cant be too choosy on limited means.
I've travelled to the following states to pick up various pieces of gear, some states several times each. The list includes: Indiana, Wisconsin, Michigan, Minnesota, Iowa, Ohio, New Jersey, New York, Massachusetts, etc... I didn't bother to include Illinois even though i've gone to the furthest corners of it on several occasions. For the record, i'm located near Chicago. Sean

When I ordered my VPI HW-19 Mk 4 TT I had it delivered to my office in downtown Chicago. From the office I carried both boxes 7 city blocks (7/8 of a mile) to the train. When I got off the train I had to carry them about another 1/4 mile to the car. I needed a BIG BEER after that. Thanks, Doug
I can relate to Sean's post. I'm in Massachusetts, and have gone on road trips as far as western Pennsylvania to pick up gear. I hate shipping! Last summer I bought a pair of a/d/s L1530 speakers from a guy in southern NJ. These are huge! I fit one (just barely) in the trunk of my Crown Vic, and the other went in the back seat. I had to put the front seats all the way forward, and I'm 6'4" tall. Needless to say, I was happy to get the a/d/s speakers, but the ride home to Massachusetts was no fun!

I once had to get up off the couch and walk all the way over the the stereo to turn it on because one of the 12v remote on leads wasnt seated well. It felt like a death march
