I would say that you should be happy for the extra attention in packing the unit safely. I wince just about every time that I send a unit off to shipping. The abuse can be overwhelming. Too much tape is a pain though. It is more about the materials used for packing IME.
Butcher Block Acoustics - What have they been up to?
I was getting ready to order from their site but much of what I want is out of stock.
Just wondering if anyone has interacted with them recently or has any background. I thought maybe they were getting ready to introduce new products and were closing out the previous lines.
