    Let us know if you need help replacing the pads. It's confounding at first.

    Postal screw up - whose bum is on the line?

    Narrow-minded? That's irrelevant because I'm not expressing an opinion. I'm stating that PayPal and credit card companies will slam you because your goods are not as described or lost in the mail that is your problem. You will lose the dispute by their guidelines. Never said EU was a country...

    Postal screw up - whose bum is on the line?

    Ask for return of all partial contents and issue a refund. Take your issue with the post office. You have no leverage with buyers since it is seller's responsibility to deliver 100% of the product safely to the buyer. If you are suspicious about their honesty ask for pictures of the box...

    Problematic Business

    Reading this is like punching my eyes with a brick. First thing, figure out if party A and B know each other and/or conspiring. Ask for screenshot of contact between A and B during this mix-up.

    DO NOT BUY FROM - Anacondastan (he is a scammer)

    Best of luck to you. Be persistent but not relentless. A good night sleep is worth more than what you paid.

    DO NOT BUY FROM - Anacondastan (he is a scammer)

    OP, please clarify your payment so I know where you stand. Did you send the payment as gift? If yes, skip paypal resolution directly and contact your bank first. Reason is if you dispute via PP, PayPal may actually issue a penalty against you for circumventing their fee for purchased goods. This...

    DO NOT BUY FROM - Anacondastan (he is a scammer)

    You need to contact him immediately and ask him for a copy of the mailing receipt. His excuse does not add up because you cannot ship a parcel internationally over 4 pounds without tracking through USPS unless he used International parcel which is incredibly foolish. Tracking is inherent because...

    DO NOT SELL TO USER 'assss' HE IS A KNOWN SCAMMER!

    It doesn't matter. I've worked with PayPal long enough to know their loop holes. Buyer can always claim the package was stolen off the porch despite tracking. Signatures can be voided by having a relative sign for it. Damages can be claimed anytime within 45 days. Unverified addresses loses...

    I can't believe what I'm thinking re: LCD3

    Congratulations. I went to Best Buy to listen to Neil Young Live At Massey Hall LP through a pair of B&W 800 powered by McIntosh decks and I nearly cried. If I can find an affordable stereo that sounds like that I'll sleep happy.

    Passat Commercial with Rocketmam

    It's not the best example of often misheard lyrics but there are some songs that I prefer the misheard lyrics to the original.

    Breaking news! Chinese company acquires Stax..

    My biggest concern is whether the new owners will hire the old management or allocate a new team. This usually will decide if the company will undergo a gradual or a spontaneous change after an acquisition.

    Breaking news! Chinese company acquires Stax..

    Between my old RS-1 and my O2, I would definitely say the former.

    Breaking news! Chinese company acquires Stax..

    Talking to Chinese and Japanese audiophiles over the summer, I have been hinted that Stax has not been doing well domestically for a long time. One member summarized that among the high-end listening brands, Stax is not the go-to choice for many Eastern communities. They prefer more musical and...

    suggestion to people--move away from pay pal

    Unfortunately, you are blacklisted from PayPal for life. PayPal has an advance cross-referencing system that tracks your name/address/IPS/banking/CC/Social Security. Basically, you will not be able to register again if even one of these things show up. I'm not sure if we're hearing the full...

    Sony MDR-R10 with CD-3000 drivers - is this copesetic?

    This is why I'm afraid to buy a R10 nowadays. You never know if one has been serviced or opened by an amateur.
