If that was in fact the case, I wouldn't have received a delivery notice card. It shows that they attempted delivery just after 12 Thursday. Everything about that is also recorded in the scans. It was scanned for delivery when the driver pulled up and scanned again when he put it back in the truck. Canada Post is honestly very good and this is the first incident of its kind I've ever experienced. When it comes to family and friends and commercial operations who utilize them, I've never heard of anything like this happening. So it is indeed a unique circumstance.
Also a signature would be electronic and posted publicly on the website to show who in fact signed for it. I going to assume it was mistakenly left on the truck or the driver took it. Medium sized box, $300 value, heavy... it happens unfortunately... but those kinds of actions I would expect from other, larger companies who deliver packages... I wont name names. -
Received a call from Canada Post. My parcel is at the store waiting for me...and was there the whole time! Apparently some customs paperwork was ripped off and they held the package to gather information to see if they could release it to me or not. I'm not sure I by that story and am still quite pissed about being lied too. If someone put out to have the parcel held, then tell me! State the issue and what your doing about it instead of lying to my face by saying it's not there when it really is! The postal outlet will certainly hear about that when I pick it up. My question is if the paperwork was missing or damaged, how did the driver attempt delivery within Canada Posts procedures AND request payment? Because it was clearly stated on the card there was fee's owing.
Obviously someone f'd up and is covering up with some silly story. -
Drenis, when you pick it up, be careful how you lift it -- no hernias or herniated disks!

Merry Christmas! So.... Just wondering if anyone other than me has built their 1000VA Dready yet?Good music, a good source, and good power can make SDA's sing. Tubes make them dance.

I finally picked mine up from the post office. The box was a wreak but the tranny was flawless. Can't believe how big and heavy this thing is!

Merry Christmas to all!!
My hesitation is (in part) to the wiring. Is it the same as the 800? I cannot find any mention of different wiring. PLEASE confirm

I cut and pasted the information below from one or more of the threads about construction of the 1000VA AI-1 transformer and saved it for my notes. This is how I built mine, and it works superbly.
The wires on the AV-047528 use the same color scheme and parallel connections as the Y236906:
For the Y236906 800KVA transformer, the Avel-Lindberg website has a chart for parallel connection of Y23 series transformers showing the primary positive terminal attached to the gray & brown wires and the ground terminal attached to the blue & violet wires. The dots indicate the corresponding + or - terminals on the primary and secondary sides to maintain correct polarity and phase.
The red and yellow wires on the secondary side should be attached to the positive terminal and the black and orange wires to the negative terminal.
My connections at the speakers are:
Right Pin (+): Red and Yellow wires.
Right Blade (-): Black and Orange wires.
Left Pin (+): Grey and Brown wires.
Left Blade (-): Blue and Violet wires
In other words, to parallel, put 0 to 0V negative (blue & violet) and 115 to 115V positive ( grey & brown) on the primary side and 0 to 0V negative (orange & black) and 115 to 115 positive (yellow & red) on the secondary side."Science is suppose to explain observations not dismiss them as impossible" - Norm on AA; 2.3TL's w/sonicaps/mills/jantzen inductors, Gimpod's boards, Lg Solen SDA inductors, RD-0198's, MW's dynamatted, Armaflex speaker gaskets, H-nuts, brass spikes, Cardas CCGR BP's, upgraded IC Cable, Black Hole Damping Sheet strips, interior of cabinets sealed with Loctite Power Grab, AI-1 interface with 1000VA A-L transformer -
Correct, exactly the same as the 800. I just used my 800 as a guide and it worked perfectly.Good music, a good source, and good power can make SDA's sing. Tubes make them dance.

Sorry. No, there are none left, and it's not possible to just purchase a single unit. Avel Lindberg will only do a run of these with a minimum purchase of 10 units, that's why I organized this group-buy. I was soliciting people to join the group for over a month. Your only option is either to purchase a smaller transformer, or put together a group-buy of your own.Good music, a good source, and good power can make SDA's sing. Tubes make them dance.

Michael, I've built Dreadnoughts with both the 800VA and 1000VA trannys from A-L. The performance of the DN using the former is probably 80-85% of the DN using the latter. IOW, the smaller tranny still makes a very good AI-1, and produces easy to hear improvements in clarity and soundstage.
The 800VA is available off the shelf, and is considerably cheaper."Science is suppose to explain observations not dismiss them as impossible" - Norm on AA; 2.3TL's w/sonicaps/mills/jantzen inductors, Gimpod's boards, Lg Solen SDA inductors, RD-0198's, MW's dynamatted, Armaflex speaker gaskets, H-nuts, brass spikes, Cardas CCGR BP's, upgraded IC Cable, Black Hole Damping Sheet strips, interior of cabinets sealed with Loctite Power Grab, AI-1 interface with 1000VA A-L transformer -
