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

Buyers who send email saying: "I want to buy this. Please send total including shipping." and are never heard from again.

Are these jerks "mental"? You know, do this for kicks?
The dork equivalent of knocking over my garbage cans at night?

Also can't handle the "gears" dudes.
"Which speaker cable would be best for my gears?"
1. nuff said
2. what is your lowest price
3. 10 ratings on used items

btw. I like Bill. I've bought from him and will buy from him again. He is refreshingly honest and calls out bs when he sees it. I also find him rude but he's from New York. It's like complaining of a croaking frog and most of the time people deserve his rhetoric.
1) sellers who will not answer an inquiry with a precise, explicit response - especially when it has to do with item condition (eg Q: Can you describe the cosmetic condition, especially any blemishes? A: It's good.).

2) Poor packing - not wrapping an item in clean poly, using peanuts, mis-using bubble wrap . . .

3) agree with many above - remotes, stiff cords, if you're reading this . . .

4) personal attacks in forums. Especially those that incite a food fight taking the discussion off topic.
Agree with Lokie 100% with 1-3. Also, Bill has always been very nice to me and has gone out of this way to answer questions sent off board. I think Bill just doesn't "suffer fools" all that well.
