Got the call from Krell today that repairs are completed on my SACD player, pending final testing, but those tests will not take place until they are allowed to go back to work. As of closing time today, they will be closed at least three weeks and possibly more.
Somehow I just knew this was going to happen.

It's really strange times and things like this really suck. I was lucky to get my Def Tech amp back just in time. Maybe someone will go in and send it to you.Dan

They would, but their QC takes a day to complete, then pack and ship. If they get caught opening the doors, it could be a 250k fine...The Gear...

3 hours ago, MA announced the closure of non-essential businesses. I have an email in to Nordost to check on the status of my cable re-termination but I have a feeling I will be in the same boat you are, John, with my speaker cables."Some people find it easier to be conceited rather than correct."

I am good. I picked up a set of Wireworld Luna 7s as a place holder until my Heimdalls got back. Thank you for looking out though."Some people find it easier to be conceited rather than correct."

Sounds like we have another victim of the coronavirus.

Yeah this is one of those really tough things for business. I had to call a bunch of my customers and let them know we were being forced to shut down and I really don’t know when I’m going to be able to get stuff in.
Thankfully they all completely understood and didn’t rip me a new one. I tried to make it really clear that I would rather be at work making an income, but being “non-essential” made the choice for us. -
Important COVID-19 Message:
Due to the Coronavirus pandemic, our state government has mandated that all non-essential businesses in the state of CT shut down as of Monday, March 23rd by 8pm. Therefore, the Krell factory will remain closed until further notice from the office of the Governor.

Got an email from Nordost today stating that they have been allowed to work still in MA. My cables are in the works and should be shipped back to me before the end of the week."Some people find it easier to be conceited rather than correct."

I got my Pass amp back last week, and the person I was dealing with said they might have to close. Hopefully they can stay open, although some employees might want to be closed.

My SCs just got back today. There was some confusion at Nordost because they were forced to shut down but they have a few folks going into the office. I really appreciate them getting these back to me. They easily (and rightfully) could have had me wait."Some people find it easier to be conceited rather than correct."

I sprayed mine down with Lysol, a few spritzes of rubbing alcohol, a soaking in E85, burned it for about 2 hours and it seemed safe after that."Some people find it easier to be conceited rather than correct."

I LOVE that stuff. It smells so good. Not to mention the extreme gloss it adds. I have a pretty nice arsenal of Griots Garage stuff. Once this mess settles down I want to pick up their newest DA Buffer. I have a Rotary from back in the day(Dewalt Professional) but I want to try out the DA's everyone is so into these days.nooshinjohn wrote: »I am going to wear latex gloves when opening the box and removing it, then wipe it down with Griot's Best of Show detailer spray.

I managed to sneak it in the house and get it set up. I have a couple hundred hours to go before I can evaluate it properly, but that will take some time... They replaced the laser head and jitter module. So far it does exactly what it should do and reads everything I put in.The Gear...
