grawk Posted March 17, 2008 Report Share Posted March 17, 2008 Glad to hear that you had a good ending to this whole fiasco. It woulda been a happy ending, but he got charged $50, and didn't get fucked. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
n_maher Posted March 17, 2008 Author Report Share Posted March 17, 2008 It woulda been a happy ending, but he got charged $50, and didn't get fucked. Hmmm, I never really thought about it like that. In the end it's a pretty crappy situation for both of us but I have some confidence that as a result of his profession he may have better luck negotiating with UPS than I would have.

swt61 Posted March 17, 2008 Report Share Posted March 17, 2008 I also think that this officially ends my search for a transport. The End Which means you'll be using? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
n_maher Posted March 17, 2008 Author Report Share Posted March 17, 2008 Which means you'll be using? For now (and probably the foreseeable future) my Arcam CD73. I may send the Wadia in to have the digital output added but I seem to have issues with shipping lately so I'm not exactly excited about that prospect.

swt61 Posted March 17, 2008 Report Share Posted March 17, 2008 So what about the Hertsens? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
n_maher Posted March 17, 2008 Author Report Share Posted March 17, 2008 So what about the Hertsens? Source chain goes like this: SB3 ----> Hertsens DAC or Arcam ----> Hertsens DAC All the Arcam does is read the info and feed the Hertsens a digital signal. It's a fine transport and I really should leave well enough alone. But I'm an idiot, love gadgets and had a hankering for a dedicated transport. I think my need for one has passed and I'll stick with what I've got that works. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can't say I blame you, but I was kind if hoping you'd build the new HiFiDIY transport, and tell us what's different. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nah, no more top loading transports for me. And no because I had a pretty rough go of it with the first HiFiDIY transport, customs mangled the box and I was missing about half the fasteners for the kit. My luck with transports/cd/dvd players is epically bad. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Salt Peanuts Posted March 17, 2008 Report Share Posted March 17, 2008 Yeah, but it's not EdipisReksically bad. Alright, maybe it is. Reks is an adverb! LOL. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
swt61 Posted March 17, 2008 Report Share Posted March 17, 2008 Honestly you'd probably have to spend a fair sum of money to significantly outclass the Arcam as a transport anyway. I think you probably are well founded in your decision. And I'd be wary of being bitten again too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
