A good thief finds the remote first , then the component. Another good quality is definitely spelling. Get the right remote! The Sony goes with the Sony component, not the Sonny, or Sunny... etc.
Audiophiles must be careful with their remotes, vs. items on ebay.
Yes, anyone can loose a remote especially when moving. That said, I have never lost a remote and neither have any of my friends or relatives. The thought is not AudiogoN, but the number of items missing remotes on ebay can make a person wonder about that unit's history and ownership.
Kind of like a camera, car, computer, or other consumer item that are missing something....I can't say I have noticed much of that, but ebay audio components with missing remotes is fairly common. I guess that should not be a concern, as I have lost a few ladies in my past.....I could swear they were just here a little while ago?

Once I was so pissed about all the remotes (prior to Harmony all in one) disappearing, I went to Home Depot got the baddest Velcro I could find, cut a 2 foot square piece of plywood and stuck like 6 of them on the plywood. Didn't bother to sand or stain it. Still reeked of the saw blade blazing through it. Set in on the footstool and smiled like I won the lottery. |
I am puzzled. Even Audiogon(N) website uses both versions of the name. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Jo1v82dJ6dI |
Yes, comments on spelling, word usage and the like are critical to the success of AudiogoN. It is not really about sound or components, is is all about finding anyone making an error of any type and pointing it out. Kind of like the "hall monitor" in grade school. "hall monitoris an extension of it's true meaning. someone who polices the halls and rats on fellow peers for petty power, self esteem and approval from elders. someone who gets off or generally thinks they are in charge by randomly busting you. self appointed judges of anything." |
