| Fraudulent sale on eBay Hong Kong is a wonderful city. It is cleaner than any city in the USA. In ten days, I saw one dent on a car. The food is amazing. The Jockey’s Club is a horse racing track with eight story stands. They have no sense of historical preservation. H... | |
| Fraudulent sale on eBay Hot women like the aquamarine boxes. | |
| Fraudulent sale on eBay Read Tiffany (NJ) Inc. v. eBay Inc. 600 F.3d 93 (2nd Cir. 2010). 75% of Tiffany jewelry sold on eBay was counterfeit at that time. EBay’s VeRO program is designed to prevent a Court from entering an injunction against eBay. 95% of all VeRO compla... | |
| Fraudulent sale on eBay Not Xenophobic, just not naive. This is based on my experience as a trial lawyer representing multiple manufacturers against counterfeit sellers on eBay, including cutting into counterfeiter cables as exhibits and filing multiple lawsuits against ... | |
| What new gear have you just bought? PS Audio FR-20, DirectStream DAC MK2, and AirLens, connected with Audioquest Dragon 48 HDMI cable, Yamaha NS-5000, and IsoAcoustic Gaia 1 and Gaia 2. Added Kimber Kimber bi-wired Carbon 18 speaker cables. AXPONA induced fever. | |
| Fraudulent sale on eBay Assume anything you buy from Hong Kong in counterfeit | |
| First impressions of the Isoacoustic Gaia 1’s I am a fan. I have Gaia II on Joseph Audio Perspective2 and Yamaha NS-5000. I use Gaia I on my PSAudio FR-20. When I buy new speakers, I automatically purchase isoacoustic gaias. | |
| Costliest Brainfart My house cleaner decided to clean my phono cartridge. She rippled the stylus and cantilever out of the $3500 cartridge. I asked her if she would avoid touching it in the future. No point in yelling at her or upsetting her. Stuff happens. | |
| WHY DO PEOPLE FEEL THE NEED TO COMMENT ON CABLES AND EQUIPMENT THEY HAVE NEVER HEARD? Today, everyone is an expert on everything with a complete disregard of the scientific methodology. | |
| When did you put the most effort in setting up your audio system? Moving my PS Audio FR-20s from the main floor to the basement using a new stair-climbing dolly. After discussing the correct approach, my son convinced me to let him go down the stairs backwards. Big mistake. It was like they were on a slide. He w... | |
| PS Audio Aspen FR20: Planar Floorstanding Speakers I heard the pre-pandemic prototypes at RMAF. The FR-20s are much better speakers. I would not have purchased the prototypes. I love the FR-20s driven by all PS Audio electronics. I am using speaker cables, unlike the print ad photos. | |
| Digital add ons-airlens, matrix spdif, Innuous Phoenix net, Phoenix usb You are quoting Ted Smith without attribution. | |
| Airlens You are correct. My mistake. | |
| Airlens I do not want to start a debate but would suggest a high-quality USB cable. | |
| Digital add ons-airlens, matrix spdif, Innuous Phoenix net, Phoenix usb I have the PS Audio DAC Mk 2. It does not have an Ethernet connection. The AirLens connects a hard-wired Ethernet connection to the DAC using an I2S connection. Better than any USB connection. It allows me access to Tidal. |
