and this the polarizing affects of different quality - too bad they didnt check the quality of sound for each one before they shipped- my copy was near flawless- as I state below in my review- sorry to hear you didn't get a great copy - peace and much respect for the review- it absolutely sucks they do not address the elephant in the room at Gold Planar and fix any bad copys by issuing a refund or exchange- ADMIT they have some bad copies probably made by some over night over worked employees at the factory in China... as SNL said

Hi, John. Thanks for the feedback. I appreciate how you used very large text in your review to inform readers of the 'gamble' that is buying from GoldPlanar and their distributors right now. There are some other reviewers out there who should be as vocal as you and I on the matter, IMO.

I am curious, did you ever listen to the second set you spoke of in your review? Any interesting results?
