Do power cords really matter?
The best response to this I ever heard was it's not the last 6' that matter, rather it's the FIRST 6' that make such a big difference. 
Mail Service Canada from US, "Who Shot the Eagle"
Well said Lugnut! I'm employed indirectly by the USPS in that I work for a contract carrier who, by definition, has a contract with the USPS. When I applied for the job I completed both the USPS application & the contractors, so in essence I d... 
UsedMeadowlark "Heron" i vs Von Schweikert VR-4G3?
I have a set of the VR's & I use the fill tweeter to "tune" the high freq. I really dislike any brightness & have the fill tweets turned down to about 1/4. A great addition IMO as you can make subtle adjustments. My room is similar in size... 
Unbelievable Indeed
You've just blown an opportunity to make some big money selling audiophile quality outlet covers by posting the information here. You could have had tuned dual and quad covers specifically aligned for many of the current (pun) outlets available. Y... 
Held up in customs
I had a package held up going >>TO<< Canada for, get this, TWO MONTHS!!! Shipping was via USPS & in fact I'd shipped to the same place a few times before. Something to do with the value. Customs can do anything they want. 
Luminous Audio Synchestra Sig. vs. AZ Silver Ref?
Well since Tubegroover already offered to take out the trash I can't jump in but what I'd suggest is send the IC's back to Tim with details on their performance because maybe there's a defect. With my RCA pair there was a problem which he immediat... 
Just a note of thanks
It's pretty cool to say that. I've both agreed & disagreed with you here & over at AA & sometimes emotions play a large part of the story.Last time I was in Miami I had some Cuban coffee & drove for 800 miles without stopping. Not ... 
Sellers adding for PayPal use is plainly BS
I read not that long ago about similar charges being passed on to consumers from retailers using credit cards. If I remember correctly this is illegal? If I'm mistaken surely somebody will supply the correct information.Anyway, I think the point E... 
Any audio shops in Vegas that shouldn't be missed?
I was only in there one time with my brother & whoever the salesman was, he treated me very well. He played a CD that was either homemade or a customer made for them & it was great. I asked about getting a copy it was so good & that's ... 
Want speakers for 700 but none sound good.
right at the top of your budget. You might be able to get some other used or demo models in your price range but I would still try & audition them. 
Luminous Synchestra Signature, How good are they??
Best cables I've owned. A set of RCA's from the CD & XLR's to the amp. Also using Renaissance speaker cables in a true bi-wire configuration. I've got all the highs & lows I ever wanted using VR4 Gen III's. 
Help Me Get Out Of The Dark Ages
Since you already have a Rega piece (that I take you like) maybe you can go listen to some Rega speakers, provided they're available for audition. His speakers may be one of the best kept secrets in audio right now. 
Want speakers for 700 but none sound good.
If you're able to audition a set of Rega speakers I think you'll be impressed. I was recently at a dealers & was just playing with some of the equipment & was surprised at how good these little speakers sounded. 
Cheap packing material
In the Yellow Pages under Packing Materials you will find the best deals for supplies-as compared to the places you mentioned. Unless otherwise stated they all have city counters & will sell to you. The downside is sometimes the minimum purcha... 
Stay away from UPS. Never use UPS.
You stated: "No wonder why you guys/gals can't get your systems together. You don't even know how to ship a LP."How did the thread about a damaged LP turn into a flame about everybody's system? Sometimes the packing here on A-gon from individuals ...
