| Unscrupulous ebay buyers @audioguy85 That worked out wonderfully - I had no idea this sort of outcome was even possible with eBay. I wonder if this sort of "intervention" is reserved for cases where buyers exceed a set number of returns - assuming eBay, like many retai... | |
| Unscrupulous ebay buyers @riaa_award_collectors_on_facebook I suspect you're correct. I've never had to personally exercise this option - except in the case where my credit card account was obviously breached. Of course, this type of fraud (sadly) seems to occur on a ... | |
| Unscrupulous ebay buyers If the buyer bypasses the eBay return process - and sends the item back to you *without* invoking a formal return - I don't believe you're under any formal obligation to make a refund: It's not an "official" return and, hence, not subject to eBay... | |
| Unscrupulous ebay buyers You may wish to read up on eBay's rules, regulations, etc. governing purchases and returns. As I understand it, eBay is no longer connected with PayPal - they deal directly with the buyer's credit card and the seller's bank account (which, as a s... | |
| Denafrips Pontus 12th Anniversary @j_andrews Understood. I can't answer the question of comparability - but doubt you'll go wrong with either. IMHO, the Pontus is the absolute sweet spot in the Denafrips R2R DAC line. Good luck - please keep us updated! | |
| Denafrips Pontus 12th Anniversary Unless they've changed their policy, I believe Vinshine includes shipping to the U.S. If the difference between new and used is truly only $250, it's a no-brainer: Buy brand new from Vinshine and get the latest version, factory packaging, fully... | |
| Headphone amps @oddiofyl +1 I have both the Quicksilver headphone and integrated amps - both of which delivery excellent sonics at a very competitive price point. As stated, build quality is also top notch. My end game headphone amp may be the Pass Labs HPA-1... | |
| Those singers you enjoy,....that don't really have a great voice? I love Lucinda Williams and Ricki Lee Jones - though I've been told their voices, like Scotch whiskey, are an acquired taste. | |
| What are your top 3 favorite female singers? Lots of great names provided - I would add Karen Matheson (Capercaillie) to the list. Captivating voice in both English and Gaelic. | |
| Songs of debauchery and excess Eagles - Life in the Fast Lane | |
| Nik Turner - Rest In Peace Gone to the great orgone accumulator in the sky. R.I.P., mate. | |
| XLR to RCA plugs or cable @vthokie83 + 1 I would add Audio Envy to this list. I had a 1M pair of O'Nestian interconnects made with XLR on the source end and RCA on the destination to run from my DAC to my headphone amp. Price was < $200, if memory serves. Very solid... | |
| Sad songs- We love them- We need them "Our Town" - Iris DeMent. | |
| Albums you do not get...a plea for help and understanding @bancsee Not that I understand the deeper meanings of the songs on "Graceland," are you sure you don't mean Paul Simon's "The Rhythm of the Saints"? | |
| most beautiful (looking) speakers Best looking, most aesthetically pleasing speaker ever made? Gotta be the early generation Klipsch La Scalas in the raw birch plywood. (Sorry - I had to do it. No flaming, please - I'm actually a Klipsch owner!) 😁 Thanks to previous posters fo... |
