Fractal Audio Systems mystery product speculation

[norminal]

The opposite experience? Meaning both UPS and FedEx got your packages to their destinations on time?

Positive results with UPS and negative with FedEx.

Dude, I HATE the "I'm flying back to Spain in 4.8 hours, can you get it here in 4.7?!?". No matter how good the offer, I just refuse. Shipping from the hinterlands even if I pay through the nose with the right vendor I can't guarantee a delivery time.

Nothing special about the offer; I'd set the price on Reverb. Buyer's travel plans seemed a little over-complicated/ risky, and I was busy when he contacted me, so I considered refusing. But he was really nice, and there was all this chatter about some mystery meat FAS product that might render FM3's unsellable... so I picked a service that should have gotten it there in plenty of time, taped up the box, and shipped. And then the USPS (and/or perhaps Reverb, who provided the shipping label) me.

I'm trying to temper my saltiness because the package was on its way to FL, where people have real problems, some of which may even have been related for all I know. But let me tell you, a half an hour trying to deal with the USPS automated phone system, with a ticking clock, would send the pope off on a murder spree.

I was just being a wise ass. But in any case, my beef is with the USPS, not UPS.

Never more.

When you pour the milk on the cereal you can control the optimum cereal/milk ratio. The converse is not true.

This method is 100% more accurate. Well duh, Fractal…

And all you people putting milk, or anything, in your coffee are not drinking coffee.
You are drinking something that should only be found sloshing around in the bottom of a bus pan at the diner!

I thought Cliff said the new product was not a replacement for any current ones.

Right, because tea is far superior to coffee

Fact!

Sure. But that didn't (and doesn't) mean that people aren't going to reconsider their rigs and their purchasing options in light of the new product's availability. Even before the new product is released, the talk alone is enough to make a lot of people wait things out.

Hmmmmm....ok.

I ship between 100-300 pieces a day with both USPS and FedEx. FedEx breaks more shit, USPS “loses” more shit, but USPS wins hands down for taking zero responsibility for anything and having the most customer-unfriendly phone system on earth. It’s worse than Spectrum.

For me, tea is totally over priced and quite ancient tech but if you prefer it I have no problem with the producers or users.

Well, it depends for me. Morning 06:00 coffee is standard brew, and I need it with milk in the morning because im not 21 yo in my stomach anymore. My 44 yo morning tummy needs some love. But the next coffee around 09-10 is pure grinded beans brewer we have at work. Then 12:00 and 15:00 will be the same. Last cup of coffee for the day is the 18:00 after dinner coffee with wife and i put milk in that so i won’t risk the upset old fart tummy in the evening.

This felt good… sharing… and stuff… and that my tummy is sensitive. Should really drink less coffee though… and I should probably stop using snus also…. For the tummy and stuff. But caffeine and nicotine is beautiful things.

Not sure how closely you've been following this thread, but I'm sure I can find more than a post or two musing about how someone might combine an "FX4" and a [whatever] in place of an FM3. That's a person who's not going to pull the trigger on a used FM3 until they know more.

Or people still convinced it's a FM4

I used to like this place. But now I realize it's just like the real world where everyone is stupid.
