My buddy has been going through some financial hardships lately. Hence, why he has been selling off all his extra gear. All he really has left now is his beloved Klipsch Quartets, Marantz 2285, ARXA Turntable, and a cheap DVD player. Sadly all the really nice stuff he kicked his butt for is gone. Long story how he ended up there. Let's just say s*** happens.
I know most of us go through rough patches like this at some point in our lives and eventually recover from the all the bad. Me however, I can't help but feel bad for the guy. So, I decided to make this a gift for him. This afternoon I went ahead and placed an order for him through Amazon. According to my order, it should be here in 2days. If there are any issues, I have their spectacular return policy.
Personally, I would love to purchase through the other audio sites and support them. But the truth is Shure is still working to rebuild their QC reputation Don't want to hurt the smaller companies that work so hard to feed our audio addiction. Until then, I will have to rely on big business that don't get hurt badly from a return.
Crossing my fingers everything goes well and I receive a straight cantilever.
A big thanks to all of you for your input!
