Ugh. They moved delivery until tomorrow. All the way from Canada to Charlotte through customs in 8 days and it takes two days to go from Charlotte, 13 miles South. They had it in Charlotte yesterday at 3 in the afternoon!
Oh well, good things come to those who wait.

Kind of strange, the system sounds MUCH better with this Marantz player... guy said it had my address on it but your name. You need me to bring it to you tomorrow?

I just redirected the shipment to go to a local Fed-Ex for pickup. Now, if only I can get there prior to close tomorrow...

Okay, it's Friday. I'm off of work. The unit is unpacked and has arrived to me in mint condition. Now to rearrange the gear in the rack, plug everything back up and test this heavy, heavy, heavy behemoth out!
I haven't even had an amp that weighs as much as this thing...and I've owned a plethora of heavy amps in my travels! Holy smokes Batman is this thing heavy. I'm praying I don't drop it while trying to slide it into it's permanent home.
I have already listened to a few tracks/albums on the Jolida that I can use to compare. Time for some adult drinks (after install) and some musical fun.
Let the games begin!

Well sheeet, Tom...... You've said that about all the components before. What makes this one different?
Make me buy this model. -
I called Tom, but couldn't really understand WTF he was saying since he broke his jaw. The gist seemed to be he couldn't believe the difference a reference source makes.Political Correctness'.........defined
"A doctrine fostered by a delusional, illogical minority and rabidly promoted by an unscrupulous mainstream media, which holds forth the proposition that it is entirely possible to pick up a t-u-r-d by the clean end."

The reason he can't talk is, because he's sack-less at the moment. He blew his sack so far back, his cats thought it was a mouse and took off with it.

Or his old sack blew so far back it came back around and hit his own jaw? Just a thought.

Ugh. I just spent the last hour and a half typing up my thoughts/observations, hit the wrong button and erased everything I had prepared. Way to go dummy (me)!
I'll follow up with my comments next time on Word, so that will not happen again. It won't be until later on tonight or tomorrow morning though. I have life to attend too and a jungle to mow, seed and fertilize along with the weekend "honey do" list.
My apologies for being the village idiot today. More later.

He has to try 17 different IC to the pre to make sure he thinks what he wants to hear is right.

Hehe. Sorry guys. The yard I have is, shall I say, not small. Laying down 2 different types of seed, fertilizing and smoothing out the rough sections this weekend after plowing the dead grass sections last weekend...all with an uncooperative back honestly got the best of me.
When you have seen me type...yeah, that's when my back needed a break.
I'll offer you a short and concise review now. Does that sound good?
She plays music. Both RB and SACD. She will not play a DVD-A disc. *sticks out tongue*
I wish I hadn't hit the wrong button the other day. That was a LOT of typing. Now I have to do it all over and I haven't even had a chance to start yet. Listening as we speak. Life is good. A thorough review is coming. I may stagger it, as my week is looking rather busy at this point in time.
