Pet audiophile peeves - name yours


1. Power supplies that are not the same size or finish as the preamp. Who decided this was a good idea?

2. Ridiculous and obvious snake oil salesman

By far, the most annoying thing is when sellers don't list the age of the gear they are selling. Especially, when they grade speakers 9/10, and then you come to find out they are 5-6 years old.
People who pay a fraction of retail for a used item and expect a piece better than new.
Sold a used subwoofer to an anal customer at close to one third of the retail price with clearly stated, conservatively rated 8/10 condition. After receiving it, he puts it under fluorescent lights looking for wood imperfections. Then proceeds to accuse me of obfuscating the truth, poor packing (double-boxed) and every other imaginable audiophile sin that exists on the face of the earth. Lesson: never ignore the red flags dealing with a bloody anal type.
