| Fee for home audition @waytoomuchstuff, I too regret that I am unable to work with my regular dealer. He is not into digital and does not offer much more than basic stuff. Yes he helped me get to where I am right now and I love my system | |
| Fee for home audition @dznutz No one will ship expensive stuff to random strangers. I did give my credit card and authorized a hold of the full purchase price. If I like it I send it back and get a new one shipped. If not, I send it back and pay only for shipping. I li... | |
| Fee for home audition @waytoomuchstuff you claim that you had no idea what really transpired yet you write paragraphs….. | |
| Fee for home audition @ghasley i agree with most of your points. This is my problem was regarding the “demo fee”. I clarify again. I am less than 10 minutes from the dealer. I gave him a clear option of paying full sale price (msrp) and taking the demo out by myself... | |
| Fee for home audition @ghasley your contribution to Grimm thread is vary valuable and I certainly believe you. I am not sure you know the dealer. I did not reveal any info on the dealer as I did not want a single interaction with one customer to damage his business. He... | |
| Fee for home audition I never asked the dealer to bring his equipment to my home. I offered to pay full upfront for an already open demo unit he has in store and I offered to pick up and drop off. He actually wanted to bring it to my home. If I am paying full price the... | |
| Fee for home audition It seems like I have to look at other dealers for a home demo. I would have tried in store demo but the Grimm mu1 is very much tuned to digital coaxial output. The dealer only carries DACs with USB. After all the responses in this thread, I am go... | |
| Fee for home audition Thanks for the replies. I was looking at the Grimm mu1. So 5% is not exactly a small amount. | |
| Fee for home audition Can you even imagine a guy selling a TV bringing it out to your home for a quick look? I agree that would not be possible but I can buy the TV and return in a decent time for a full refund if I am not satisfied. It is even better. | |
| Fee for home audition I do live in the East Coast. My long term dealer does not carry a lot of digital stuff. So I had to reach to this dealer for the specific streamer I was interested in. I offered to pick and drop off in an hour but he insisted on bringing it and ta... | |
| Fee for home audition The dealer told me that if I buy it and return it there is 15% restocking fee. If he brings to my home for one hour it’s 5% fee. Of course, if f I buy it immediately there is no fee. | |
| Any one use Grimm MU1 with Aries Cerat Kassandra ? You have to use the USB option to accept higher rates on Kassandra. I don’t believe you are missing out as Kassandra can reclock too and it achieves exceedingly good jitter levels. It is one of the most natural sounding and musical DACs I have he... | |
| Testament records reissues Rushton and jfrech, Thanks a lot for the reply. Based on your reply, I am going to try these reissues. I think the combination of great sounding recording and exquisite performance is elusive, so much for being audiophile. Happy listening,Sven | |
| Lyra Delos or Helicon versus Soundsmith Zephyr Jwpstayman no offense taken. I do not have a VPI turntable, but have 3 tables in different rooms. I remain firm that SS cartridges have a Digital sound. The opinion is not mine alone, several friends who are critical listeners concluded the same. ... | |
| Lyra Delos or Helicon versus Soundsmith Zephyr I have both the Lyra Delos and SS Aida. I would recommend going with the Lyra. The Lyra is warm, detailed and exhibits very good retrieval of low level details. SS Aida is very analytical detailed and has poor low level details. The best way to ex... |
