Pet audiophile peeves - name yours


1. Power supplies that are not the same size or finish as the preamp. Who decided this was a good idea?

2. Ridiculous and obvious snake oil salesman

1. Ugly equipment

2. Someone posts an average piece of equipment, say, a $900 solid state preamp, RAVING about it, (when you've owned one and know that's a gross overstatement)states the list price was $1,200 (when you bought yours you KNOW it retailed for $900) etc..etc..

3. 10 trillion choices for cables made by everyone and their brother for $1000 or more for 1m IC.

4. Tweeks that are advertised as "Huge improvements in this that and the other" and when you buy them and use them you hear absolutely nothing different.
Audiofeil nice observation.. Audiogon is NOT the place to buy LP's (I have bought maybe 3-4 LPs here) for your reasons listed and high prices. I buy VERY CAREFULLY on ebay. Sometimes you win, sometimes you lose (like more surface noise than rated) But I win more than lose.
