Shout out to Revival Audio Atalante 3 speakers
I was the lucky one to demo then purchase the 5's from the great @goldprintaudio  I listened to them first on the floor with the installed riser lip. They sounded very, very good and were still not broken in. I then installed them on their stand... 
Unscrupulous ebay buyers
Ditto what @riaa_award_collectors_on_facebook states. This is from eBay: Tip Even if you specify “no returns accepted,” under the eBay Money Back Guarantee, the buyer can still return an item if it doesn’t match the listing description. @audiog... 
Why Are We Breaking Our Brains?
@waytoomuchstuff You are giving too much time to 'ebm'. Look at his profile and then check his thousands of responses. They are usually one sentence with ZERO to add to any thread. Just like the one here, throwing a non-sensical thought without an... 
What's an upgrade from Ryan R610s?
My intent was not to single out nonoise for hijacking but more if the discussion on Revival speakers took away from OP intent, I was worried. My apologies for not doing better with context.  
What happened to those dreaded 1099 forms we were going to receive from Paypal?
@rbertalotto did you have 200 or more transactions in 2022? Or are you a PayPal business account?  
What's an upgrade from Ryan R610s?
@nonoise thanks for sharing that someone actually has a pair and listened to them in the US. My local Revival dealer is very excited about these and he get's his 3's and 5's in sometime this week. I am very interested in the 5's based on my room ... 
What happened to those dreaded 1099 forms we were going to receive from Paypal?
@nonoise You forgot ’whitefishpoint1175’ among others, there are too many to recall  
What happened to those dreaded 1099 forms we were going to receive from Paypal?
Yes, we needed another "what happened to 1099-k forms" post. I'm thinking about starting a thread on new speaker cables, perhaps I'll post it on the IRS site and ask there.    
Previous Ownership...does it matter to you?
What is your criteria for getting to the condition 'quickly' for an online sale of a used item? Photos, description, feedback? Any of these can be gamed/faked/lied about as I have referenced in the original post. You can usually tell if it has ... 
Made in USA
@grislybutter spot on!  
Made in USA
You didn’t think this would be "edgey" but your initial post is blatantly proof that it is meant to be just that...have you read through similar threads like this one you started? Probably not because they get removed as they go straight to Chines... 
Vandersteen 2ce Sigs with bass coupler issue
Many years ago I purchased a used set of 2Ce Sig II's and one of the speakers had this exact same symptom. It was the 10" rear firing active coupler that the owner had fried. I was comfortable with DYI so Vandersteen sold me the replacement. If ... 
Ordering directly from MoFi (LP's)
So I ended up calling MusicDirect since they "own" MoFi and I was connected directly to MoFi who apologized with a few excuses and they are shipping today. They don't charge until the item actually ships which will be today for me, order was plac... 
Ordering directly from MoFi (LP's)
Thank you both for confirming the terrible customer service I’m experiencing.    I’m going to cancel and order from MD.   
If you had $12k / £10k to upgrade your analogue front-end...
"Rega P8 (I prefer it to the P10)" "why? I am curious" I'm also curious as I had the P8 and P10 side-by-side with the Apheta 3 and the P10 was clearly better, more resolving but not etched, better defined bass, more engaging, you name it. Don't ...
