Well I spoke with Mike today, long short of the story is he is a decietful individual that is taking absolutely no responsibility for the amplifiers he has in his shop, or is should have. He reniged on the deal to ship the amp to dB-r and I would pay him back once Chris recieved it, as I don't have any reason to trust he would send the amp out if I sent him more money, proof of this is all the broken promises to date and others that have sent him money to ship and he still hasn't sent them their amps. He said he would give it back to John (johnjv29 on CACO) who is the guy I bought it from in the first place. I will have John send it to Chris.
for all of you who have sent him your amps, I will put it this way, I really doubt I will ever see my amp. And I have even less optimism about yours. You may want to get very serious about getting your amps back in whatever shape they are in. Or just deal with the fact that you may have just been another of the scammers pie.
