Just to note, I have yet to experience any audible hum with my LG. I'll try out my more sensitive HD650's to see if I can notice anything then.
Anyone having problems with the power switch on the front. I have to press it a couple of times before it turns on or off. Not a nuisance but is it normal like that?

The Cavalli amps take quite a push to turn on or off. I've never had an issue but it is an odd feeling the first few times.
Still my favorite power switches I've had on gear though. They feel nice and I like the lack of 'compression'.

Its funny sometimes, I press it hard a couple of times and it doesnt turn on, then I just slightly touch it and its on. Sometimes vice-versa.

Gents, regarding the power switch. There is information in the manual about its operation, however...
The piezo switch requires some amount of pressure in the center of the button where the LED is. The power sensing circuit has a built-in delay so that if you try to rapid fire the button it won't respond.
So, I think the best mode of operation is a deliberate push that puts pressure on the switch, but not repeated pushes. I've been using these switches in the amp since the beginning and they are dependable and consistent when they meet the specs.
Just FYI in case anyone is still having problems.
Will get back to you all as soon as I can first determine why the hum in some units.

All I have to say is WOW , the construction of this amp is well beyond what I was expecting. I am glad that I waited before I decided to get a "real" cavalli amp for myself. SR#0001 , helps to know the right people. I chose the black fascia - just gorgeous.
I had offered Alex to help take a closer look at this hum and I couldn't help myself - above image shows just how thick the panels are. The internal construction of this chassis has been so well engineered it has me seriously impressed. I am familiar with the first series and liked they way that they were put together but this is like nothing I have seen before.
What I should have done is sat down and listened to it first as I am really battling to hear this hum. I cannot hear anything with my AKG or Audeze but can hear a very low level hum with the KSC75 (15 Hz - 25 kHz; Nominal impedance: 60 ohms; Sensitivity: 101 dB/mW). If any owners can chime in and tell me what they are hearing I would be very grateful as I would not have batted an eyelid at what I am hearing. I have stock tubes running and it is set up on my test bench.
This should not be a "by the way" but really great sound from the B&W test disc.
looking forward to hearing from some of you so that I can try and figure out what some of you are hearing.
so friggin jealous...congrats Don. You deserve to own one of these beauties more than anyone else i know of..way to start the new Year.

Hi ServinginEcuador. I have been meaning to get around to this. I have temporarily stopped LG availability pending a fix. There are units left and they will go back on sale when this is resolved.
Many thanks to dBel84 for helping me track this down.
Edit: I made this post pretty quickly rushing out the door. To provide a few more details, my website CMS won't allow me to put up any other messages than Available or Out of Stock. So, in order to temporarily interrupt the ordering process I used the Out of Stock message. I've been pretty busy with all of the other CA things going on and have taken a little longer to make this post that I had planned. Thanks.

Gents, I am very happy to announce that we have found a fairly simple fix for the low level buzz in the Liquid Glass.
As you all know I stopped sales of the amp a while ago because of this problem. However, the fix seems to be consistent across units and so, for those of you who want an LG, they are back. Of course, no amp will leave the workshop without a very careful listening test.
I will turn on availability on the CA website within the next 24 hours.
I have tested the amp with my AD2000s (my Canary in the bird cage headphones). Very quiet. No sign of buzz and a small amount of low level hiss. YMMV on hiss depending on the tubes you're using, but the amp seems to be quiet now.
Those individuals who took delivery of LGs before production was stopped will, obviously, have their amps fixed. Unfortunately, it's not a field fix so they'll have to be returned to CA at no cost to the buyer. I'll will contact all of the current owners to get this done.
Now, off to start contacting all of you who have asked me about LL2 and getting it into full production.
Thanks for everyone's patience. More to come. Lots more.
awesome Alex!! Am guiessing Don had something to do with figuring out a fix for this.. kudos all around and great customer service. WIshing all the best to my favorite amplifier manufacturer.

Robotrek (released under the title of Slapstick (スラップスティック Surappusutikku?) in Japan) is a role-playing video game released in 1994. It was published by Enix and developed by Quintet and Ancient for the SNES video game console.
As its Japanese name implies, Robotrek was intended as a humorous game. Designed to appeal to a younger audience,[1] Robotrek's main focus is on allowing the player to raise up to three robots which are built from spare parts that may be found, gained through battles, or generated by the player by means of the game's item combination system. Next Generation describes it as a predecessor to the core idea of Pokémon in the sense that the protagonist does not himself fight, but sends out his robots to do so. Like Pokémon, each robot was kept in a ball.[1]
Robotrek has similar gameplay to that of most RPG video games, with the notable exception that the main character is not the combatant; rather, the robots he invents are, making it more similar to Pokémon and Dragon Quest Monsters. The robots are highly customizable, in aspects such as equipment, special attacks, body color and name. The player is allowed to build a maximum of three robots. Unlike many RPGs, the player must invent or create the robots equipment, use "Program Points" to set the robot's attributes (as opposed to these attributes being set by the game), and program special attacks in a macro-like fashion, although certain commands do special effects instead.
Battles are engaged by contact with the enemy on a map. The player usually attacks first, unless the enemy has caught the player's side or from behind. Battling in the game takes place on a battlefield under a variation of the ATB system, in which the player must wait for a gauge to fill up before acting. Only one robot may fight at any time up against at most three enemies; the player can switch between robots at the cost of a turn (like in Pokémon). During the player's turn, none of the enemies will act, and the robot is free to move around the battlefield and attack with one of its weapons. After the robot acts, a gauge appears with the letters E (empty) and F (full) at either end. The gauge's depletion will depend on what action the player used. Until the gauge reaches F, all enemies take turns attacking.
Like most RPG video games, the character gains experience points, called here "Megs of Data". Once enough Megs are obtained, the player gains a level. Also all enemies do not give money by default, but certain enemies do drop it on the map after being defeated. Most enemies will drop some item or low-level equipment, but these can be "Recycled" to make money.
This battling system also uses bonuses. The player can earn extra Megs of Data by defeating enemies within a time limit and using melee attacks. Bonus capsules are also scattered around for the duration of the time limit that can contain items or traps.
Much of the game revolves around creating and combining items for the robots' benefit, and is essential to make higher-level equipment. The player creates and combine items using an invention machine. More items can be created by finding the "Inventor's Friends" series which can only be accessed depending on the character's level. Aiding the combination process are items called Scrap, these allow the player to create basic equipment or make more powerful ones. Weapons can also be strengthened by combining one weapon with the same type (swords for a Sword). A weapon can increase strength by nine times (called levels).
On the planet of Quintenix, where the situation has long been peaceful, a group calling themselves "The Hackers", headed by Blackmore, suddenly starts an uprising against the population by disrupting the peace of the town of Rococo (and elsewhere). The main character (who appears to be nameless) is the son of a famous inventor, Dr. Akihabara, who decides to move to Rococo. The main character soon sets off to find out that The Hackers want Dr. Akihabara for a sinister purpose, as Akihabara refuses an offer to join them. The story unfolds to the point where The Hackers' ultimate goal is the Tetron, a mysterious stone that allows viewers to observe events past and future and travel through time.
The Tetron is later found out to be an invention of the main character's ancestor Rask and one of his friends, Gateau, finds the Tetron's potential as the key to controlling the universe by controlling time. Rask disregards that potential and hides the Tetron in shards throughout Quintenix. Gateau, who — presumedly — formed The Hackers later on, obtains the Tetron and attempts to proceed with his plan for universal domination, starting with Rask's home planet of Choco. It is up to the main character to stop Gateau in his space fortress.
Quintet reported that the game sold 45,000 copies in Japan and 20,000 copies in North America.[2]
GamePro assessed that Robotrek "unsuccessfully attempts to push the envelope of its genre." They described the graphics and audio as especially generic for RPGs, and criticized the inability to send more than one robot into battle at a time and the trial and error involved in creating hybrid weapons and items. However, they did praise the robots' special attacks and the ability to avoid encounters with enemies.[3] Electronic Gaming Monthly scored the game a 7.4 out of 10, commenting that "Building your robot is a very cool idea, and there are several areas to explore and people to talk to. I just wish there was a little harsher tone to the whole thing."[4]

New Max Payne screenshots full of action-packed actionWhile everybody was busy pointing their gaze on the Grand Theft Auto V announcement trailer, Rockstar quietly dropped a few new screenshots on the Max Payne 3 website.

But the cover had this good looking guy with a nice jacket and a gun. Dude had things to lose. Now that we have bald, round and ugly over here it feels much more appropriate. Comments not appearing?

The evolution of life on land was an anti-entropic revolution for the biosphere as a whole. Oyang Teng presents this process as one of a series of ongoing case studies of the principle of physical-economic platforms, manifested within living nature. In particular, this slice of evolutionary history is examined from the standpoint of the Hypersea theory of American scientists Dianna and Mark McMenamin, an extension of Vladimir Vernadsky's earlier work in founding the science of biogeochemistry.

( Originally Published 1921 )
Basilicas, which were halls of justice and commercial exchanges, indicate clearly, by their central position, the importance of law and business in Old Rome. These buildings, which are of a pronounced type, are a link between Classic and Christian architecture (p. 202). The usual plan of a basilica, which was probably a Roman development from a Greek temple, was a rectangle twice as long as its width. Either two or four rows of columns, forming three or five aisles, ran the entire length, and above were galleries with upper columns which supported the roof. The entrance was either at the side or at one end. The tribunal at the other end was on a raised dais, generally in a semicircular apse, and sometimes separated from the main building by a screen of columns or by a low balustrade. Ranged round the apse were seats for the assessors with a raised seat in the centre for the praetor, and in front was the altar where sacrifice was offered before transacting "business. The building, which was generally covered with a wooden roof, was, according to Vitruvius, sometimes open along the sides, and presented a simple and unadorned exterior in comparison with the interior.
Trajan's Basilica, Rome (A.D. 98) (p. 157), designed by Apollodorus of Damascus, was entered through a noble portico from Trajan's Forum. Adjoining the Basilica were the Greek and Latin libraries with Trajan's famous Column in an open court between them (p. 157 B). It had a central nave (p. 157 A), 385 ft. long and 87 ft. wide, with double aisles, each 23 ft. 9 ins. wide, and the total internal height was about 120 ft. The columns separating nave and aisles were of red granite from Syene, with white marble Corinthian capitals, and they supported galleries over the side aisles, above which came the clear-story and simple timber roof usual in these basilicas. At each end were raised tribunals with semicircular apses and sacrificial altars in front.
The Basilica of Constantine, Rome (A.D. 312) (p. 157), sometimes known as the Basilica of Maxentius and formerly as the Temple of Peace, adjoins the Forum Romanum. It consists of a central nave, 265 ft. long by 83 ft. wide, and was crowned at a height of 120 ft. by an immense groined vault in three compartments. North and south are aisles also in three compartments, each roofed with a great semicircular vault, 76 ft. in span, springing from walls which are at right angles to the nave and pierced by openings, and these walls, steadied by the pressure of the aisle vaults, supported the nave vault. Monolithic columns stood in front of these transverse walls and supported entablatures from which sprung the nave cross-vaults (p. 157 F). There were two apses, north and west of the nave. Light was introduced in the upper part of the nave over the aisle vaults by lunettes in the wall formed under the intersecting vaulting. The building is similar to the tepidarium of the therms (p. 159) and is in many respects a prototype of a Gothic structure, in which the thrust and weight of intersecting vaults are collected and brought down on to piers built to receive them. The vaults to the northern aisle remain with their deep brick coffering, and a portion of the main concrete vault of pozzolana still overhangs in mid-air, although the column which supported it has disappeared, thus showing the extraordinary cohesive quality of concrete.
Other basilicas at Rome were the Basilica Porcia (B.C. 184), believed to be the oldest ; the Basilica Julia (B.C. 46) (p. 139) ; and the Basilica AEmilia (p. 139). There are also remains of basilicas at Pompeii, Fano, Treves, Timgad, and at Silchester in England, and indeed there can be no doubt that wherever Rome established her power a basilica for the administration of justice formed an important feature in her town-planning.

Pena's Patriots prediction
Last week before Reds Caravan kicked off, I encountered backup catcher Brayan Pena knowing he would have a view on the upcoming Super Bowl between the Patriots and Seahawks. Pena is an enthusiastic Patriots fan as you may guess from the quotes that follow.
"New England, baby, they're definitely going to win it," Pena said. "Seattle had trouble with Green Bay. New England is a much better team than Green Bay. I still believe Seattle just got lucky, to be honest with. On the onside kick, if they missed the ball, it would be a totally different game. With New England, that's not going to happen.
"We have too many weapons to use. We can run the football. We have wide receivers. We have [Tom] Brady. We have the defense. It's too much."
How did Pena, who hails from Cuba, become a supporter of the Patriots?
"I've been a Patriot fan for years, ever since 2000 when I got here to the States," Pena said. "The first professional athlete I met was Tom Brady. He was so humble and so kind. I had a man-crush on the guy. And his wife is Giselle — you can't go wrong with that."
Pena's predicted score for a Patriots win in Glendale?
"I would say 27-20, definitely," he said.
On Sunday during the Reds' Select-a-Seat event at GABP, a fan asked Pena about the "deflategate" scandal that hovers over the Patriots. His reply?
"I don't speak English," he said, getting a laugh from the crowd.
Sheldon on MLB Now
I was invited to do a live shot Wednesday on MLB Network's MLB Now show. We covered topics you're likely familiar with as Reds fans — Mesoraco, Cueto, the rotation and Votto. But feel free to take a look anyway.
Details on Mesoraco contract
Full story on MLB.com: click here
Here are some details on the four-year, $28 million contract signed Monday by Reds catcher Devin Mesoraco:
Year-by-year breakdown:
2015: $2.4 million
2016: $4.9 million
2017: $7.2 million
2018: $13.0 million
Signing Bonus: $500,000
Playing Time Incentives: For every season 2015 through 2017 Mesoraco reaches 502 plate appearances, the 2018 season salary escalates $400k (maximum cap of $1.2 million)
Incentives: Mesoraco's 2018 salary can reach an additional $150,000 for every All Star selection, Silver Slugger Award and Gold Glove, an additional $200,000 for a top five in MVP voting, an additional $150,000 for placing 6-10 in MVP voting, $100,000 for placing 6th through 15th in MVP voting and $50,000 for 16-20th (maximum cap of $800,000)
The total maximum cap of escalators for the 2018 salary is $2 million — which means the deal could be worth $30 million.
One percent of his total salary ($230,000 over four years) benefits the Reds Community Fund.
Extra quotes about the signing:
"This is the only organization that I've ever known. It's always been a pleasure to be part of the Reds. This was definitely something I was very excited to really go forward with." — Devin Mesoraco
"It's another example of the organization trying to step up and reward a young player we're very proud of. We Drafted him out of high school. He has overcome some setbacks during his career, but not many. He's worked really hard. It's an example of a guy that's worked extremely hard, has a good work ethic and the type of guy we want to build our organization around." — Reds GM Walt Jocketty
"When he hit the way he did and caught the way he did [last season], we thought we better get him signed as soon as we can. I think it was a breakout year for him. I saw him when I first got over here and first saw him in Sarasota. When I saw him in Lynchburg, I could see he was really starting to make some change, really progressing and start to come into his own. Watching him grow through the organization is kind of the fun part of our job and develop into one of the best young catchers in the game. You try to lock those guys up and keep them part of your organization as long as you can." — Jocketty
Four-year deal for Mesoraco
The Reds and catcher Devin Mesoraco have agreed to a four-year contract on Monday, MLB.com learned from two sources. Mesoraco has already taken his physical and will sign the deal later today and have a media availability.
Terms aren't known just yet but the deal would cover all three arbitration years and one year of free agent eligiblity.
The club has not announced a deal.
Todd Frazier and Aroldis Chapman remain still arbitration eligible for the Reds.
UPDATE: It's a four-year, $28 million contract for Mesoraco, says source. Still waiting for word from the team.
Extension near for Mesoraco?
MLB Trade Rumors is reporting that the Reds and catcher Devin Mesoraco are nearing an agreement on a multi-year contract extension that would avoid arbitration.
Mesoraco is first-year arbitration eligible and filed for $3.6 million while the Reds offered $2.45 million. He made $525,000 last season.
"My agent came back to me a couple of times. It's more in his hands," Mesoraco told me during Reds Caravan last week.
Mesoraco, 26, is open to a multi-year contract and it was something general manager Walt Jocketty said had been discussed on the day salary figures were exchanged.
"Definitely, no doubt," Mesoraco said of his desire for a multi-year deal. "I definitely enjoy it here. It's a perfect city for me. Team-wise, I feel as comfortable as I could possibly feel."
Louisville caravan stop 2015
It was no surprise to see a large and loud turnout Thursday for the annual Reds caravan stop in Louisville, home of the club's Triple-A affiliate — the Bats.
The panel of Reds included CEO Bob Castellini, Joe Morgan, Brayan Pena, J.J Hoover, former reliever Scott Williamson, prospect Phillip Ervin, and Marty Brennaman.
Also of no shock: the first question of the fan Q&A was about former catcher Corky Miller, a popular player here and the only Louisville player to have his number retired at Louisville Slugger Field.
Among other tidbits:
Pena has been working out in Miami with Cuban pitcher Raisel Iglesias. "He can't wait for Spring Training," Pena said of Iglesias.
Castellini was asked a question about Pete Rose and whether he would be around for the All-Star Game
"You'll definitely see Pete Rose at the All-Star Game this year," Castellini said.
Price confident about Votto
During the hectic Thursday morning at the Reds Hall of Fame before the launch of 2015 Reds Caravan, manager Bryan Price had another positive update about first baseman Joey Votto and the first one since Redsfest in early December.
Votto, who missed 100 games last season with a distal strain of his left quadriceps, has been monitored by Reds strength and conditioning coach Sean Marohn during the offseason.
"The last report when Sean was up in Toronto earlier this month was very, very good," Price said. "The strength was outstanding, the stamina was good and the agility. Right now, we're looking to hit the ground running when Joey gets to Goodyear and being able to see with our own eyes where he's at. I'm confident that he's going to be ready to go."
Jason Marquis invited to camp
You can read more details on Reds.com/MLB.com, but veteran RHP Jason Marquis was signed by the Reds Wednesday to a Minor League contract with an invitation to big league camp at Spring Training.
Marquis pitched for Reds GM Walt Jocketty rom 2004-06, when both worked for the Cardinals.
To me, this transaction falls under the low-risk, high-reward potential. Marquis did not pitch in the Majors last season after he had July 2013 Tommy John surgery (Dr. Tim Kremchek performed the procedure). He did make eight starts at the Triple-A level for the Phillies after being signed in June but was released on Aug. 31.
While the Reds are set at the top three spots, the guys competing for the Nos. 4 and 5 spots lack a lengthy track record. Marquis will have a chance to win a place in the rotation. The other candidates are Tony Cingrani, Raisel Iglesias, Anthony DeSclafani, Dylan Axelrod and David Holmberg.
So, there is a little more intrigue added to the mix with Marquis — who will wear No. 31.
Chance for Felix Perez?
For what seems like years now, I've been getting emails, comments and Tweets asking me about OF Felix Perez and when he might get a chance in the big leagues with the Reds. Perez, who was signed from Cuba in 2010, has been at Triple-A Louisville since near the end of the 2011 season.
Perez had a nice season for Louisville in 2014 — batting .280/.325/.450 with 12 home runs and 74 RBIs, 29 walks and 85 strikeouts in 122 games. He had an even nicer winter ball season with Caracas in the Venezuelan league batting .360/.393/.572 with nine homers and 38 RBIs in 56 games.
For the first time this spring, the 30-year-old Perez will be in big league camp as a non-roster player. He's a left-handed hitter and in my mind, an intriguing option for the bench. The current Reds bench — Brayan Pena, Skip Schumaker, Kristopher Negron, Eugenio Suarez and perhaps Jason Bourgeois — lacks power that could change games in the late innings. Brennan Boesch, another non-roster player, has big league experience and power and could conceivably be that guy. Donald Lutz is already on the 40-man roster and challenging for a spot — and will be out of options. Both Boesch and Lutz are left-handed hitters like Perez.
But if things break a certain way, perhaps Perez can be a factor for a 25-man roster spot with a good camp … or put himself in position to get a call-up when there is a need during the season.
Bubba Watson and Blue Wahoos
PGA golfer and two-time Masters champion now has a connection of sorts with the Reds, albeit a distant one. It was announced on Monday that Watson bought a minority ownership stake in the Double-A Pensacola Blue Wahoos.
Below is a portion of the Reds affiliate's press release:
PENSACOLA, FL – The Pensacola Blue Wahoos today announced that two-time Masters Champion Bubba Watson has purchased ownership in the Minor League baseball team located on Pensacola Bay. Born in Pensacola and raised in nearby Bagdad, Bubba has been a big fan of the Blue Wahoos, the Double-A affiliate of the Cincinnati Reds, since they moved to Pensacola. In honor of the partnership, the team will begin selling co-branded merchandise, a Bubba Dub Grilled Cheese, a double decker grilled cheese sandwich with crispy hash browns inside, and the restaurant and bar behind home plate will be renamed Bubba's Sand Trap. Per team rules, the financial details of the agreement were not disclosed.
"Ever since I went to my first Blue Wahoos game I have been a big fan of the team. I love the atmosphere, it's such a great place to go with friends and family. I wish Pensacola had a team like this when I was growing up. There's something special about pulling for the hometown team. It's great that Quint and Rishy were willing to let me be a part of it. I look forward to a long and exciting partnership with them. I just hope Quint doesn't get tired of my crazy ideas because I have been known to have a few. One thing I know for sure is that you won't see me out there in a uniform playing. I already asked, and they said I can't do that even if I own part of the team," said Watson.
Bruce Baldwin, President of the Blue Wahoos, made the announcement earlier this afternoon at Pensacola Bayfront Stadium. Following the announcement, Watson took two ceremonial swings from home plate – one with his signature hot pink shafted driver and the other with a Louisville slugger. Jamie Walczak, who pitched for the Wahoos last season, threw to Watson. Bubba is no stranger to the team's home field, throwing out ceremonial first pitches and greeting Wahoos players and fans in 2012 and 2014 after each of his Masters wins. In 2014, he even wore the famed green jacket while throwing out the first pitch.

Extremely pleased with the services and the gowns. I purchased my wedding gown, flower girl's gowns and jewelry for myself and my two junior bridesmaids from this store.
Wedding: 8/3/2013
This is the only place that I tried on dresses. I had such a wonderful experience my first time here that there was no doubt that I would purchase my dress here! They let me try on tons of dresses and they were so helpful. The dress was beautiful and exactly what I ordered!
Wedding: 8/10/2013
Just like the title says! My dress was much less expensive than I was hoping, and the quality was amazing for that price. The alterations are done there, and they steam your dress for you.
Wedding: 12/27/2014
Wonderful boutique - amazing selection & great help. Would recommend it to anyone!
Wedding: 8/2/2014
Best advice--ask for Mataya!!!! She is amazing and very organized. She knows everything about the place and about the dresses! She is extremely helpful! She helped me find the perfect mint color for my bridesmaid dresses from a new dress line that she saw the store was getting! And she assisted my mom in finding the perfect dress for her. She went above and beyond for us. We also had a slight mishap at the store and she corrected appropriately. This place has a great selection of unique designer gowns and had a much better atmosphere than other dress stores I looked at....definitely go here and get Mataya on your team!! Also, get your alterations done by Debbie Pilon! She did a wonderful job altering my dress and was super nice!
Wedding: 9/27/2014
I stopped by to check out their sample sale when I was in town visiting my family. It was my first time trying on dresses and I just wanted to try on a bunch to get an idea of what I liked. The woman who helped me was wonderful at pulling a variety of dresses and really helpful the whole time I was there. I actually found a great dress (and at a great price!) and took it home that day. They had a wide selection of dresses both in their sample sale and in the store.
Wedding: 1/27/2015
Where do I start? I found my dress and in the most pleasant stress free way. My consultant Danette was amazing. Fully dedicating her time and attention exclusively to me. She let me try all of my dress choices and even suggested a few similar to what I was looking for as well. The store's selection is plentiful to meet all budgets and tastes. From bridal gowns to bridesmaid's attire to beautiful accessories and so much more, you will find here. Many designer labels available. The entire staff is very friendly, welcoming and helpful. My overall experience was more than I had hoped for. I found the perfect gown and can't wait to wear it on my special day. Special shout out to DJ! Thanks for the hospitality and making this a very special and memorable day !
Wedding: 6/28/2014
I had been looking for a Casablanca dress at an affordable cost. I tried on hundreds of dresses and was able to find the perfect dress here. They worked with me until the dress fit perfectly even while I moved away to a different state in the meantime. The people that work here want to make sure the bride feels beautiful in her dress on her big day.
Wedding: 6/14/2014
Had a great experience with Exquisite Bride. I got both my wedding dress and all of my bridesmaids dresses from them. Beautiful stock in bridal and bridesmaid. The quality of the dresses you will get here for the affordable cost is UNMATCHED. Great, personalized attention in an oh-so-cute boutique setting. Don't even go anywhere else!
Wedding: 10/24/2014
Brides - be very firm on our budget here. I was put in a very uncomfortable situation during a trunk show in May 2014 at the Murrysville location. The designer was present and was extremely pushy to put me in his dresses which were THREE TIMES my budget. I even told the lady helping me in the dressing room that I couldnt afford these dresses. All the ladies working there (about 10) including the OWNER said that I was the first one to walk through the door that day that could fit into the trunk show dresses and that they all wanted to see the dresses on someone....i feel very taken advantaged of and really disappointed. Of course my family loved a dress that was THREE times my budget. And even when I was trying on the dresses, all the workers came to see me in this designer's dresses. I did not have a lot of knowledge of weddings and the process of buying a dress (now i do!) and this shop played on my emotions and really disrespected me, my soon-to-husband, and forced me into buying a dress from the trunk show. After 2 days of comprehending what happened, I called the shop and requested to talk to the owner. She was not sympathetic, refused to admit what happened. I am just plain disappointed and WAY over budget and i still have to get alterations/etc. I suppose it is my fault for pulling out my credit card and signing on the line, but her employees and trunk show designer should have never interrupted my appointment like they did. The shop should just keep the dress and give me my money back.
Wedding: 4/12/2014
Many dresses to choose from and their seamstress has a quick turn around time for dresses. I loved my dress and received so many compliments on it.
Wedding: 3/7/2014
My wedding dress was absolutely stunningly gorgeous. All night people were fawning over it...I say that not to brad but to say how uniquely amazing the gowns are at The Exquisite Bride. The selection was immense and each dress was beautiful.
Wedding: 10/12/2014
I took my bridesmaids to The Exquisite Bride to look for their dresses because of all of the glowing reviews I've found online. I had high hopes, but from the start things didn't go well. We got lost on the way, so we did get in a little late (I called to let them know we'd be late), so I can't really complain too much that they weren't prompt.
However, the service was a let down in a huge way. My sister left the shop sobbing because the consultant we worked with wanted her to take off the dress and have the other bridesmaid put it on because she "wanted to see one of the dresses all the way zipped." My sister was already clearly uncomfortable that none of the dresses fit her well and as the consultant kept asking about the size she was visibly more upset, but the consultant just kept on going. We left the appointment without any purchases because I won't give my business to a place without tact or sensitivity. Additionally, I didn't feel that the consultant respected me. She talked over me and when I tried to get her to stop asking about sizes, she kept going, leading to the zipper incident. My sister felt like the consultant was calling her fat, which is uncalled for. Further, when I asked her to stop on that path of questioning, she should have done it. I felt rushed, disrespected, and unvalued.
I called the manager to tell her about the incident, and while she was quick at getting back to me, I did feel that she didn't think the consultant did anything wrong by being so insensitive. She kept making excuses and telling me the consultant didn't mean to say it and she's really a nice person. She was sorry that I had a bad experience, but she still didn't seem to think the consultant did anything wrong. I felt that she accepted the consultant's explanation too readily and gave my feelings almost no weight. On top of that, part of her explanation was that they had tried on 28 dresses -- why is that even relevant? When I bought my dress, I tried on over 30, and the consultant didn't complain when my appointment went twice as long as I scheduled, or when I wanted to try on earlier dresses again, or when I stayed long enough that the store should have closed already. A good consultant doesn't try to rush or push you into making a decision that way. I don't know whether there will be any changes to make sure this doesn't happen again, but it ruined our entire dress shopping experience. It was the worst dress vendor that I've been to for either bridal or bridesmaids dresses.
On top of the service, many of the dress samples were fraying and even with dresses that should have zipped size-wise, the zippers were broken. They have a large selection of Bill Levkoff dresses, but not many of the other brands they carry. Not all of the brands listed on their website are available at all of the locations.

I found my dream dress in the Gibsonia shop. The staff was very friendly and I was able to find my dress in my price range at my first visit. The dress came quicker then I was expecting.
I only had to have minor alterations (bustle and taken in at the bust) and they did a great job. The alterations were also very affordable
Wedding: 10/19/2013
Exquisite's staff in Gibsonia is so friendly and helpful! I really enjoyed my trips up to the store from dress shopping to picking up my dress! My dress and veil were both fairly priced as well as arrived to the store within a few months, way earlier than the 6-9 months I was initially told!
My only downfall of Exquisite is the seamstress pricing- she was very expensive. I had a bridesmaid dress done here as well as my wedding dress- a hem alone on a bridesmaid dress was $50! I would suggest looking into other seamstresses if you know of any or if you are on a budget looking into a bridesmaid dress or wedding dress store that includes alterations- especially to keep cost low for your bridal party!
Wedding: 8/17/2013
I had such a great experience at the Exquisite Bride in Gibsonia. The women working there are all so friendly and professional and you can tell that they will make sure that your dress will be perfect (on time, altered and steamed) for your big day, which is such a nice feeling when you are a little stressed about the whole thing.
The woman I worked with helped me try on several dresses in styles that I wanted, as well as other dresses she thought might look nice on me as well. She had a very good feel on how I wanted to look on my big day and one of the dresses she suggested ended up being the one! I had the dress altered there by a woman named Sayda, who was amazing! She made the dress look as if it were made for me. Such a plus because the alterations can really make or break a dress!
Buying a wedding dress is a long process (choosing, ordering/delivery time, alterations, steaming) so plan ahead in general, but the women there made it easy. Also, I learned that when dealing with wedding dresses, the designers fix the prices, so bargain shopping just doesn't work. It is best to choose the store based on service and the quality of the alterations, as all of the stores will offer the same dress at the same price. I would definitely recommend going to the Exquisite Bride (especially in Gibsonia, where I went) for great service from beginning to end, friendly staff and a great selection. No regrets from this bride here.
I got my dress from the Exquisite Bride and couldn't have asked for a better experience from A - Z. I was living out of town (far out of town)before the wedding and the women from both the Murrysville and Gibsonia store worked together to make sure that everything was perfect for my big day.
They make you feel very special and beautiful all the while being sincere in their opinions and they have an awesome selection. Because of their two stores you can find pretty much any dress you could imagine. They have a good range of prices (discontinued dresses as well as higher end dresses, and everything in between) and the women I worked with made me feel like there is no pressure to spend more than I wanted to. I really appreciated the no pressure approach. They made sure I looked great for the budget I had set.
Also, the alterations are super well done in the store. The seamstress who I had the pleasure of working with, Saida, really made an already fabulous dress fit perfectly to my body! A nip here and a tuck there (and a cup here and there ;) and I looked like I had the body I would love to have. Everything on time and well done.
I would recommend The Exquisite Bride in a heartbeat.
Wedding: 9/28/2013
I went to Exquisite Bride in Gibsonia to find my wedding dress. The woman that helped me the day I found my dress was very helpful and knowledgeable. Going back for fittings was alittle different, the seamstress was great, but other employees seemed to be bothered by us (my maid of honor and myself). Overall I was happy, but some employees need better customer service skills.
Wedding: 10/19/2013
I only bought my wedding dress here because most of their bridesmaid dresses are expensive, but they were all really friendly and helpful. They now have a much bigger store, but they still have limited dressing rooms, so make sure you make an appointment.

Guess Stock Spikes on Price Target Hikes
(Updated with stock price and additional analyst upgrades.)
NEW YORK ( TheStreet) -- Guess (GES - Get Report) stock received a boost from analysts Tuesday a day after it posted better-than-expected third-quarter earnings.
Jefferies & Co. analyst Randal Konik raised his price target on the stock to $50 from $47 and maintained his buy rating. This implies the stock could soar 35% from its close on Monday at $37.05.
On the news, shares of Guess are spiking 12.3% to $41.59 in morning trading.
During the quarter, the retailer earned $64.1 million, or 69 cents a share, compared with $64 million, or 67 cents, in the year-ago period. There were fewer shares this year than last, which boosted per-share results. Analysts expected Guess to earn 50 cents a share. Sales fell less than 1% to $522.8 million from $527.9 million. Guess said that there is still plenty of room to grow both overseas and domestically. Looking ahead, the company predicts fourth-quarter earnings in the range of 77 cents to 80 cents a share and full-year earnings between $2.45 and $2.48 a share. Both estimates are above Wall Street's consensus. Brean Murray Carret analyst Eric Beder also upped his price target to $51 from $39. "Guess provided a compelling demonstration of how to manage in tough economic times and to drive material upside via differentiated product, stringent cost controls and an aggressive international expansion plan," he wrote in a note. Wall Street Strategies analyst Brian Sozzi lifted his price target to $49 from $47, while Christine Chen, analyst at Needham, upped her target to $52 from $40. -- Reported by Jeanine Poggi in New York.

Thanks for the suggestions everyone - keep them coming.
Interesting to see a few pop up repeatedly - James, Grace, Olivia, Zara - all lovely. Unfortunately James is out due to a close connection and much as I love Olivia, I'm just not sure I can do it having seen that awful childrens show based on Olivia the pig I adore Grace - but am somewhat worried any daughter of mine would become a walking parody with such a name. Sadly grace I have not. Fifi-trixibelle - thank you for such a comprehensive list. I think we must have very similar naming styles as you've managed to pick Lachlan's middle name, the second choice we had for Lachlan when he was born, our previous first choice for a girl, and a huge number of family names which we love but are too close to use. What do you think of Dominic or Zachary? #13Posted 27 January 2013 - 12:59 PM
Ok here is my list so far ...
