    I picked it up yesterday from FedEx, and will ship it to jerryj12 next week. I PMed him to make sure he is ready,but have not heard back yet.

    I put it in my trunk at lunch, and after work the car smelled like glue. I thought I was going to get pulled over for sniffing glue while driving.

    I think the stinker in your car may be the smell from the tapes I put on the box. The box wasn't holding up very well so I put plenty of tapes to make sure it'll not open up during transit.

    When you put it in your vehicle, the smell of the tape must be trapped inside there (especially the smell will be worse if your vehicle is parked under the Sun and inside temperature will melt the glue on tapes more).

    But consider it some EMO love. :cool:
    Trying out Different Audio Cables is a Religious Affair. You don't discuss it with anyone. :redface::biggrin:

    I vote we start a review thread, so readers don't have to wade through 21 pages to find them. I can't do it right now, got another T-Day stop to make.

    There's a review section at the Emotiva forum :) .

    You certainly need a new thread, with a title that says something about reviews rather than demo.

    You guys realize it's been more than 5 months? I for one am eager to find out what you think.

    If Jerry wants to ship them both to me, I can ship Dane's to him. (it's on the way) It will save from shipping 2 packages, and separate charges.

    If that's agreeable to all involved, of course.

    LMAO! Yeah right.

    I posted a review in the new thread on here. There's no way I'll post it on Emo's website though. I'd probably be getting death threats from some of the fan boys over there.

    Sorry guys, changed my subscription to weekly, as this thread was getting so many hits. Haven't been on the forum quite as much anyway...

    Duell, thanks for taking care of the cables. I'll send you my address via PM shortly. Let me know what I owe ya for charges.

    Thanks to all for participation!
