| The nightmare of the cartridge buyer... @wcfeil. Obviously 180 degrees | |
| The nightmare of the cartridge buyer... @larryi You don’t think that these dealers and reps have enough margin to offer what Tangramca has suggested? Really! | |
| The nightmare of the cartridge buyer... @jperry What are you talking about? I guess if you think all cartridges sound great in all circumstances, then sure. Have you heard about something called cartridge compliance...? among numerous other requirements than can give varying results if ... | |
| The nightmare of the cartridge buyer... @tangramca. Again, +1000i totally agree with you on all points. | |
| The nightmare of the cartridge buyer... @larryi so what makes you think that the rep, like the one for Miyajima, who is ok with this policy...of return, is good;and yet it’s also ok for others not to be. Thereby, foisting the risk back onto the consumer. The Miyajima dealer is IMO, offe... | |
| The nightmare of the cartridge buyer... Just to be clear, I’m not just referring to the Koetsu line, but to most other top flite cartridges as well. Same issues apply to them all, IME.@schubert... interesting point you make. | |
| The nightmare of the cartridge buyer... @chakster I think you are very optimistic if you think that there are ANY dealers in the US who can demo all of the Koetsu line. Nevermind other top flite cartridges. ( or for that matter just one decent example of the line!)Most of these guys can... | |
| The nightmare of the cartridge buyer... @lewm last time I looked, one isn’t asked to spend thousands of dollars at a restaurant. Therefore, your analogy falls down.Does it make sense for a dealer to lend very expensive cartridges for audition. Yes and No. The dealer who ended up with my... | |

| The nightmare of the cartridge buyer... @soundermn. Remember, that the Japanese vendors are selling these cartridges at 30-40% less than here in the US, and they are selling them at RETAIL from their Stores! So, do you still think the US markup is 30-40%?i know the shipping cost to the ... | |
| The nightmare of the cartridge buyer... @tangramca. I think what you proposed makes a lot of sense, and would think that any high end cartridge consumer would be pleased about this protocol. I have acquired the cartridge, so personally I am now done with this very unpleasant process.... | |
| The nightmare of the cartridge buyer... @solypsa. I agree with you, it is a tricky landscape. Perhaps this goes some way to explain why the market size for high end analog is very small. But does it also explain the circumstances that I put in my OP? | |
| The nightmare of the cartridge buyer... @inna +1But perhaps we do need to add that there is indeed a service that the dealer can bring to the table...and that is after sale service. In the case of the cartridge, i think if they set it up on the table and do the necessary alignment etc, ... | |
| The nightmare of the cartridge buyer... @glennewdick. +1000 | |
| The nightmare of the cartridge buyer... @tastyfreeze.what homework are you going to do if you want to acquire a My Sonic Lab, as an example....read the many reviews, talk to the many owners, listen at your friendly My Sonic Lab dealer, try one of their cartridges on your table...any oth... |
