That's a little tough to do when you get audited and your whole life savings including the ops money gets held without notice. Transfered the money to my checking to make purchases next day bam! No money! (Imagine having NO MONEY!) I'm leaving it at that. I didn't go on vacation...

Just goes to show if someone yells rape someone else goes to trial! I'm on trial I get it! My own Fault!

Was not a purchase or a transaction involving head fi in any way. Very long difficult explaination of what happened. Anyone who knows me knows this was not intentional!

IT's ME! First of all there are two sides to every story, With that said JDIMITRI has the right to do as he wishes in regard to making public announcements on a private transaction. In fact this transaction was made via email and did not involve Head-Fi in any way. (So much for the lynching!)...

Still Missing in Raptorvania! Just Curious who's Raptor? What Tube Set? I have to admit that Ray's Flight getting messed up killed the idea of the drive for me. I did pack up the APPLE TV>TRIVISTA>RAPTOR rig for the trip but when I talked to Aaron and he told me that Ray wasn't able...
