Who else can't sleep the night before their fancy new gears arrive?


I have a BMC Ultradac arriving tomorrow and knowing me, I'll be awake all night. I'll be lucky if I get 3 hrs of sleep.

The BMC Ultradac looks stunning IMO. My excitement is usually drowned out because of irrational anxiety that the purchase is damaged during shipment or DOA. This all began many years ago after receiving a speaker that was literally broken in half by UPS. 

At my age I'm sound asleep by 10 every night. I could be having a Ferrari delivered the next day and I'd still be asleep by 10, but I WOULD be up before dawn to start playing with it!

Or the day(s) after!

My first 'system' from Sam Goody, 1967 with wedding money: TT, AR-2ax Speakers; Fisher 200T SS receiver.

Promised delivery, looking out the window, oh yeah, there's the truck! TT, Speakers, NO Receiver. 

Phones broken all the time in Brooklyn, walk down to Myrtle Ave, pay phone, promises, promises, finally receiver arrives a few days later.
