Thanks for the info. Makes sense considering the circumstances, but still kind of a crazy situation. Unpresidented.

Forgive my ignorance, but with better hardware, why didn’t the hw2 vehicles ship with all the features of the hw1 vehicles?

Nothing at all wrong with that. The Denon line is solid, they just don’t offer what I needed.

Yup. They’ve always made solid gear. I’ve considered moving over to a McIntosh tube preamp, but would need to figure out a solution for the lack of HDMI

What are you having trouble understanding? I may be able to help.

Speakers are a very personal choice, considering they all do the exact same thing with varying degrees of success. There’s no universally “correct” answer due to restrictions on size, appearance, price, and how they sound. So you really have to go demo what’s out there to find what works for you.

Agreed. They offer a fantastic service though!

Now THAT’S a joke that’s getting old!

Put it in H!!

You make a good point. I accept defeat.

Or just use uber and skip all that garbage? Why are you trying to convince people to use the lower quality, less convenient option?

I have no question. It’s 2017. I can use my credit card to buy a small coffee at McDonald’s. If a business only accepts cash, I don’t patronize that business. Pretty simple.

clearly I’m not a dumbass, because rather than going to the bank/ATM to get cash, and then using google to try to find out how much a cab ride will cost me, I just use uber and skip all that bullshit. You might be a dumbass for not realizing the simpler m, better solution

What makes a cab safer? What makes a cab better at protecting consumers? Specifics?

It’s 2017. Cash is inconvenient for a number of reasons. And I don’t get points for using cash.

Great attitude. How does one get better informed as to the price of a taxi ride before one rides in a taxi?

To be honest, I prefer the 126. 221 obviously has the newer tech, and much better gas mileage, but I’ve never driven anything that floats like a 126. And the giant steering wheel! You just feel like a king in that thing. Everything about it looks and feels above consumer grade, down to the door latches on the pillars.…
