Bought his AKG K340's. They came in really quick and packed up really well. They were a bit dirty, but it game me an excuse to take them all apart clean them and recable them. Have no worry dealing with this great guy!

Thanks,
Alex

Art sold me a factory-sealed iRiver SlimX 400 player. He was friendly and communicative and promptly shipped the item which came exactly as described. Overall, an excellent transaction and I wouldn't hesitate to deal with him again.

Bought a EX70 off him. Pretty good price. Shipping took a little long, but it wasnt his fault. It was held up in customs for a few days.

drarthurwells, art sold some earbuds which I have bought out of curiosity.

I believe he shipped them even before payment as I received them quite quickly after payment.

Thank you Arthur! Thumbs up.

However there is a hum that you don't notice when music plays but can notice slightly otherwise. This is also what you get from tubes.

I am refunding your money and keeping the amp.

I am sorry.

Yes. I offered a brand new Ming Da MC66AE amp for $50 plus shipping and Ebay fees and Skysaxon sent me money by e-mail. I had sold it as brand new (I never listened to it to keep it new) for $325 just a few weeks ago but took it back because of distorted sound and hum and refunded the $325 to the buyer.

I was selling it so cheap because, as I clearly stated, the sound was distorted but it may be corrected with better tubes than the ones supplied with it. Skysaxon was willing to take a chance on it for only $50 for nice class A output stage new amp made in China just 2 months ago.

I checked the amp once more before shipping, but seated the tubes firmly before listening. It sounds great except for some hum you can detect if you look for it, but only in very quiet or silent musical passages.

I will not sell an amp worth hundreds of dollars for fifty dollars, particularly since my son needs a headphone amp. I refunded Skysaxon's money through paypal - he lost not a cent - within an hour or two of his sending it to me and advised him why.

I understand his disappointment and am sorry, but would not hestitate to do the same again in the same circumstances.

drarthurwells bought a pair of SonySA5k's from me. Great communication, super fast payment, overall a great transaction. I would (and hope to) do business with him any time, buy or sell.

Thanks!

Very honest and helpful. Made a deal on a Ming-Da amp. Since I am new to the headphone world Arthur was very gratious with information and all went very smooth in the transaction. Highly recommend many thanks Arthur.

Trying to discuss this transaction in the Members Lounge got me banned. 3 weeks on the amp has still turned up. I launched a complaint with paypal and they have ruled in my favour, tried to retrieve my payment and closed the sellers account. I can still not prove that art did not send the amp but I assume that art has not been able to convince paypal that he did or they would not have ruled in my favour. This case seems strange as art has an otherwise good record here. The whole problem comes from the shipment not beeing insured. I naively thought that nobody would send a 600 $ amp uninsured and the shipping charge asked for was equal to what Xin has charged me for insured USPS shipping of SM3 amps to Denmark so I never thought to ask further.
