David Elrod. the man , the cable the company.

Ken Lyons, I almost forgot. Thanks for the reminder, Dan. When I placed an order for Ken's Neuance shelf, he phoned me a couple days later to tell me in detail the procedure for constructing the platform, when I would receive it, and how the sound would be affected. What service!

Hey, don't forget Ralph Karsten of Atma-Sphere. When you call Atma-Sphere with any kind of question, no matter how trivial, he usually answers the phone himself and will talk to you for as long as it takes. Not to mention his superb products. He will stand behind anything with his name on it. Let me also tell you a story about David Wilson, of Wilson speaker fame: In 1990, an unscrupulous dealer took a deposit from me for Watt-Puppy speakers, to be delivered in 1 month. (50% of retail price as deposit given to this dealer) After 2 months, no speakers. Called dealer - phone disconnected - called police - they went to the dealer - empty store - skipped town. Called Wilson - he immediately sent me the speakers direct, less what I paid this "dealer" (who apparently fled to Florida with $$$$$$$$ of Wilson's, not to mention other manufacturers' money)less what I had given this blot on the audio landscape. That is memorable.
Thanks, again, Mr Wilson.

Steve Bednarski from Balanced Audio Technology is good as they get in my book. He has always given me his time and has gone out of his way to help me and others even when it wasn't in BAT's best interest. I can't speak highly enough of him or the rest of the good folks at BAT.

Thanks, Oz....the check is in the mail. :--)
