    I was watching it on US Audio Mart and it sold. I couldn't act fast enough to get it. Matt had a great video on YouTube - recording with microphones.

    Now that's what I'm talking about when the music sounds like that. :p<3B)

    Is the rest of that album as great sounding as that song? It's a live concert recording too. :o

    Here we can see him playing this song.

    It has arrived but, I have not had a shot to open up the box yet. Hopefully ups didn't drop it or anything so I am hopping its ok. I will get to open it up tomorrow. The Revelation Umbilical set should hopefully be here in a weeek.

    The seller has been fantastic and very nice to chat with as well.

    Seller told me he would check and see if the boxes were fit for shipping, then I never heard back from him. So I guess I have a different opinion.

    But I digress. Glad you were able to get it and I hope you enjoy it. Looking forward to hearing your thoughts on it.

    You didnโ€™t do anything wrong. No apology necessary. As for the seller, maybe he forgot all about our conversation on CP since it wasnโ€™t listed here. It wasnโ€™t meant to be for me to have it. Had I gotten it, I wouldnโ€™t have been able to get the cables from Todd.

    Iโ€™m sincerely happy you got it. Enjoy it and let us all know how you like it and how it compares to other gear youโ€™ve had and/or heard.

    I'm sorry. Sincerely. I was pretty well inundated with email responses from USAM and I lost track of our conversation here. When I finally got the boxes out and measured them, I only went back to the dozen(+) responses in my email. Then dealt with the hagglers and tire-kickers before erniejade committed to purchasing.

    When I saw your reply here, I was confident I had gotten back to everyone who requested info/shipping quote. I searched my email and couldn't find any email that I hadn't followed up with, but then I realized it may have been via PM here. And it was. It doesn't make it right, but I'm sorry for my lack of diligence.

    No worries and thanks for the reply. When Brian said he contacted you through usaudiomart, it hit me that maybe you had forgotten about anyone contacting you here. Again, it wasnโ€™t meant to be for me this time around.

    I questioned myself last night for even posting about it, but Iโ€™m glad I did because I was able to find out what happened. It appears to be an honest mistake from a stand up guy, so I have no hard feelings.

    LOL I am hopping I can get it opened up and hooked up tonight. This weekend I have a ton going on from running a Karaoke contest at the DuPage County Fair, Karaoke at a bar close to where I live, and then back on Sunday to the DuPage County Fair to run sound for the talent show.

    Ask @EndersShadow what happened when he got my old chromecast. LOL. I don't think i renamed the Lumin but, a lot of things that allows me to rename, usually get called A$3h0le or some version of that. When I shipped it tl Dan, I completely forgot to rename it or put it back to stock settings. Dan shoots me a text asking if I am trying to tell him something. I had to think about it for a minute and then I started cracking up when it hit me that I forgot to rename it. I can imagine the look on Dans face when he popped it onto his network and it comes up saying @s$h0le.

    Btw Alexa won't say it back and beeps when i say turn @$sh0le's TV.

    More fwd sounding and quite a bit more open. Better control all around but, it could be because the Tyler's are 200 lb multiple driver speakers that just might have needed more current to preform better. There is quite a bit of power difference between the 2 but even at lower volume, i feel the Tri-Vista has a wider more open sounding.

    The T+A is still a fantastic unit. I feel the synergy between the Tyler highland H2 and the Tri-Vista is a better match.

    Although, I am missing a remote right now for my Subwoofer!. Listening to old styx cornerstone album that I haven't listened to a long long long time ( probably 90's and bought this new when it first came out) and did not realize how bass shy it was and want to turn the rythmik up but too lazy to get up and adjust it for 1 album and then readjust for the next one.

    Now with that statement, the T+A does have tone and a loudness button. I could've easily resolved the bass shy recording with the push of the loudness button. I know sooo un-audiophile of me lol.

    Same thing with the rare cd of Jon Butcher Wishes. Needs a boost of bass :) Fantastic album if you can get your hands on it. The LP would probably be cheaper to find.
