Oops, did I forget that the universe revolves around you and it only matters when something leaves your possession. What happens with others is meaningless? And the fact that you may be bitten by it is also meaningless.
My original comment was taking a shot at Frys, not at you.
There's a Frys in Oxnard now just off the 101. Maybe that's LA to you?
They restock returns, even it the product was returned due to a problem. Now when you later buy that restock, it is your problem.
Just to be evil and make any new source decision harder for you, I suggest you take a look at Galen Carol Audio Steals page. There you'll find a used Audio Aero Capitole that's been upgraded to SE version for a lot less than the demo Cary. Did I say a lot less?
There's no need to thank me. >
Here's an interesting story from HDGuru. Apparently many companies are not honoring their own pricing policies in an attempt to increase profits in the recession. Has anybody here run into this?
2 HDMI and 2 Optical digital cables from Monoprice.com. Since it's the latest thing that every HD product touts, why are HDMI cables included in so few HD products? They aren't expensive.
Many of you probably know that I just bought this Samsung HTIB. All I need to finish setting it up is a pair of cheap 28" (more or less) speaker stands for the front L/R speakers. These Sanus stands at Amazon is the best deal I've found. Before I act on this, I thought I'd ask here to see if anybody knows of a better stand and/or deal.
Thanks in advance for your advice.
