A 45 of "Jam Up and Jelly Tight" by Tommy Roe  
Dartzeel and Evolution Acoustics Dealer in U.S
Just contacted Herve' at Dartzeel. He told me that DARTZEEL AMERICA INC. is also going to be the gateway for Evolution Acoustics. Gonna take a little time to get it set up, as Dartzeel is working on it's product line first, and then they'll bring ... 
Another Fedex problem...
I've always had great luck with FedEx. Possibly just a local issue?  
Really Long XLR
If you're  not worried about electrical interference, I'd consider the Mogami 2549 cable - a little less capacitance than the 2534. I also like the Neutrik connectors  
Dartzeel and Evolution Acoustics Dealer in U.S
Best answer I can give is to contact both companies and see what they tell you.  
Does it make sense to "ignore low ball offers"?
I don't negotiate with terrorist. I'll simply say "thank you but no" and be done with it. If they have any reasonable interest at all they'll make another offer. I've found getting a second offer rare  
Tube Preamp: How many tubes does it take to .................
VTL 7.5 linestage only has two tubes. Nice not to be in the tube rat race

Thank you all for your viewpoints - It's pretty much reinforcing my thoughts. Did some more searching and whois shows the website being created last June - not too old. Front page says they started  their business in 2007 and they're just entering... 
New Custom Turntable
A conversation piece, no doubt! Hope it sounds as good as it looks for you.  
Any Dealings With This Company?
TY @upshift. Would you care to share your abbreviated experience?  
Can I Trust The Music Room's Product Description?
I've several transactions with TMR and I feel they try to be accurate, but even with that, mistakes happen. Warranty usually doesn't start until item is purchased, not the production date. It could have sat on a shelf for a year before it was sold... 
Why Do Cables Matter?
As the old saying goes, "to each their own". I'm in the same camp as the OP, I use Mogami on just about everything and Pangea power cables. I'm perfectly happy with it - my system sounds great. My pockets aren't as deep as some, so I'd rather pu... 
Update on good Ethernet switch
