    Mine arrived today via USPS (Post Office) Priority Mail. I have not opened it yet, much heavier than I expected it to be. I'll be looking to future posts on the assembly process. I'll get around to it one of these days :) . Again a very big thank you to @vcwatkins for organizing this, it's a lot of work. You folks are all great.

    @aprazer402
    I'll be posting the assembly of mine on my upgrade thread..... (and asking questions I'm sure)

    Also do not just credit @vcwatkins .You should also give credit to the guy who got the ball rolling in the first place and then turned it over to @vcwatkins
    @250GTLusso !!

    Let's give them BOTH a round of here,here's!

    Not much assembly left for me. I just need to bolt the transformer in the box and make the connections on page 11 of this thread. Should take about 10 minutes.

    Now the fun begins!
    Good music, a good source, and good power can make SDA's sing. Tubes make them dance.

    Mine was just dropped off 5 minutes ago. I hope it survived the packaging. It was simply placed in a usps flat rate box with zero material for support.

    That is interesting..... I bought one of their 800VA's a few months back and it came in well packed with foam and cardboard packing?

    Have you even opened it? I thought the same initially, but it was actually a decent packing job for such an unruly piece. High density foam surround would have been better, but whatever, it appears to have made it, unmolested. If not, they probably just singled you out.

    There is a three inch gap between the material and the transformer, along with holes in the box in several places...

    3 inches is a bit of an exaggeration on my shipment!

    I just heard a Loud A$$ Thud . . . looked out the window to see the USPS driver getting into his vehicle. Trannies layen' on the concrete porch. It was obviously dropped with zero regard. I Cannot stand those MFers!

    Mine just came in and aside from the box being a little mangled they had the tranny wedged in with a good amount of cardboard and packing paper.
