Never seen a dealer have to install wires

I like this guy, he had his dealer install his wires.

He didn’t even touch or lay a hand on the wires.

I think he was genuinely nervous of the wire installation which I find pretty interesting.

Charles is a good guy though, I’m glad he’s happy in the end. He paid his dues to get his set of WELs.

    No, literally just plug and curl around the speakers/amps/etc.

    At least he doesn't have to worry about putting stress on connections. If anything gets messed up then it's on his dealer to sort it out, since they installed them.

    Coming from someone who is extremely lazy, I do understand his approach.

    Maybe we should all try the opposite.

    White glove everything and we just sit back and watch?

    To me this is the same thing as people who hire a maid/cleaning service to come to their house weekly to clean it for them.

    Not something I would ever personally do, but some people sure like it.

    This is where I put in to practice the "keep your big mouth shut and don't say peep" mantra I've been running through my head lately. Hope all are having a wonderful day.

    Sup Kerry. I got some unofficial Nespresso pods from Amazon on the way. Been trying a lot of the various "generics".

    I tried some pods from another company, name escapes me at the moment, and they had plastic pods. The coffee had a chemical. plastic taste and aroma to it. I have both lines of the Nespresso brewers and love them both. I'm spoiled.

    What tha... What strange alternate reality have I stumbled into where Kerry and Drew are being cordial and sipping coffee together?

    "You got a nice DAC."
    "No, you got a nicer one."

    You guys are weird.
