Long story short, turns out there's been a rash of car burglaries in my
neighborhood, and I was one of the first to get hit. They broke into my shell
and got my gig bag, which had a lot of my audio tech stuff in it including a big
box of adapters and Y's, as well as a bag of balanced adapter cables. Suckfaces.

Anyway, I ordered some replacement cables and adaptors from Mark & Liz of
Audiopile Dist:
http://www.audiopile.net/
and Mark said he was throwing in "a few extra" adapters. Very cool.

I opened the package yesterday, and found * a ton * of extra adapters and
transformers, stuff I didn't have before as well as practically everything I
had! I just kept pulling stuff out of the bags and saying oh-my-god. It was a
$100 order, and he "threw in" another ~$100 worth of audio goodies, those "yes,
I can connect up your left-handed widget to the PA three minutes before
showtime" life-savers.

They ( and the members of a couple of the bands I work with) have restored my
faith in my fellow humans, which had taken a bit of a beating. Thanks again!
Needless to say, they have a customer for life. Fyi, I've disassembled some of
their stuff - looks good: soldering, assembly, etc.

How much did they pay you to post that?

Seems strange that a new poster should come on here and make a post like
that having not posted here before. If it were from a regular I would be
inclined to believe it but not from a first-time poster.

While Susan may be a first time poster here on AAPLS, Mark from
Audiopile used to post here in the past, which is how I found
Audiopile.

I have purchased from them as well and found them to be top notch
people. Mark even took the time to respond to a lot of my emails when
I was setting up my live/recording rig (and this was before I was a
customer)

So yes, 2 thumbs up to Mark and Liz from me as well.

Yes, well I agree that it is a little strange that a person who never posted
here would choose to start with a post like this, however, knowing Mark and
Liz personally for over 5 years now, I can also say that, that is in fact
they way they are. Mark is not only a seasoned sound vetern in the pacific
northwest, but one of the nicest people in or out of the business I have had
the pleasure to meet. And, if you can beleive this, Liz is even nicer, lol.

In that case I'll take it as read that they are worth doing business with
since this comes from a regular. You have to admit though the original post
was more than a little suspect. I still remember the idiot from Bose coming
on here a couple of months ago to try to tell us how much he loved their
shit on a stick system.

I'm getting cynical in my old age.

About 8 years ago I had someone break into the trunk of my RENTAL car and
steal an FX rack, my night suitcase and my briefcase.

I was OK with the rack (insurance), pissed about the clothes and lack of
deodorant but completely irate about the briefcase. It contained a shitload
of adaptors that I made over the years. It also had a lot of memorabilia in
there.

I could never replace all the adaptors as I don't even know what there was,
but rest assured I could adapt a Mackie to an elephants ass (I hear they
have that interface built in now) I swear If I see somebody carrying that
case to this day I will be much less than polite weather they stole it or
not!
