@cleeds -- Thank you for explaining the details regarding how to contact the Admin on this site. It is possible that the times I used the "Contact Us" feature, Audiogon's reply may have gone into my Spam Folder. I am fairly religious about checking my personal email Spam and Junk Mail Folders (I owned a business for 30 years so I checked them several times a day which led to doing the same with my personal accounts), but anything is possible. Again, thanks for the heads up.
We will just have to agree to disagree about the OP's language in his thread. I thought he and the others that were familiar with these companies provided damning evidence to back up each claim and to answer each objection. I saw the post as a Public Service Annoucement to "watch out". I did some digging before I started this thread to make sure I did due diligence. Do you not find it puzzling that the websites of the companies mentioned do not show Verdant Audio products in their drop-down menus...but if you do a web search that includes the name of the online company and Verdant Audio you get links where you can then purchase Verdant Audio products at prices THOUSANDS of dollars less than anywhere else? According to Verdant Audio, at prices lower than his cost to import them. The post by Robert Neill provided additional examples of the "F" word.
You may have noticed, I have not stated the names of the two companies in question and I'm trying to avoid spelling out the "F" word. Hopefully that will keep my post from being shut down. I did find a copy of the original post with all the replies and made screen shots of the entire thread.
