Ron’s New System

[microstrip]

As expected (because I knew the design from the demo unit) the box is wedged deeply into the crate. I don't see how I can lift it out myself without risking ripping some foam or cracking the Styrofoam. I'm going to unscrew a side plank to remove the box.

Well, I have unscrewed many similar boxes in the past , mainly to save space in storage. The only problem could be if the box was glued. Why didn't you immediately try unscrewing it? Does it break any confidentiality agreement?

I generally unscrew the top. Then turn it on its top and lift the crate off.

I also do the side tip with good pads places on the bottom side to gently receive the unit.

I rarely ever pull something out of the top that is more than 30 lbs. When I do, its because I can get straps under the unit to lift it out.

Direct-coupling weighs less, apparently

Simply unscrew the top and all four sides of the crate leaving you with the unit sitting on the base panel , relatively straight forward from that point onward , bonus … the disassembled crates take up less storage space .

Absolutely if its not glued. 3 screws is a weak box for something that weighs over 100 lbs and does not appear to have an inner skeleton.

Place a pillow on the floor by the crate such that when the crate is rocked over it that it winds up inverted over the pillow. Product slides onto the pillow. Pick it up. Put it in the system

This is pretty funny. Audiophiles analyzing the best way to get a heavy object out of a crate. I think Ron has this one under control. What could possibly go wrong.

Only on WBF, 15 posts (and counting) on how to get something out of a box.

Where are the 300 pound Tongans you keep on retainer?

They’re on ICE at the moment.

Ron, hire some people. Dang. It doesn't need to be this complicated. Have them get it out, bring it up or down and have them place it where you would like it.

It really isn't that hard. You are not alone in this...

I think everyone, especially audiophiles, given nature of hobby and their age, should deadlift and barbell row on a regular basis for back health. Not being funny.

Easy peasy as one two three… I could pick it up with mind thought if necessary, it’s so light☝ ..!!!

Now listen to Ked - He knows what he’s talking about !!! Great advice, Ked.

You guys are really ridiculous! I already told Ron the best way to get it out of the wooden crate by unscrewing the sides of the box...two sides should be enough to easily access the preamp. This comes from years of unboxing Aries Cerat preamps, amps, DACs etc. The boxes are easy to unscrew if you have a power drill/screwdriver. Enough said...

Just put it back in the garage and mull on it for a few more months.

Ron fears the Aries Cerat koan.

Between the dog rescue and the electRONics rescue, it could have a bit of a look to it.
It’d be like a pound.
