Jay ...
1. Tim is not running a restaurant. Again, what is between Tim and Ozzy is between Tim and Ozzy.
2. Shelf life: Its working for me.
3. First, Tim’s customer service is first rate. Take the time to read the responses regarding Tim’s service in this thread. The fact that Ozzy has his nose out of joint has no reflection on Tim’s service.
4. Yeppers, I’m an old guy all right. You’re correct, Austrian economics HAS been under attack for just about a hundred years in this country. Who’s doing the attacking though? Marxists? Progressives? Those who believe in massive debt and fiat money? Isn’t a 21 trillion dollar debt and a trillion dollar budget shortage enough for you guys?
5. Obviously clear, Jay ... if you would take the time to read the thread from the beginning, you’d find that a lot of your questions have already been answered.
6. Return policy "side stepped?" Again, read the thread from its inception.
Now then, is there anything else standing in the way of your purchase?

So Jay ... For the third time: Have your questions been answered to your satisfaction, or is there still something standing in the way of your purchase?
Frank,
1. This is no longer a situation of something between ozzy and Tim. The restaurant example was an analogy that applies to all businesses. Tim admitted to purposely not replying to a customer’s email. This should be a basic courtesy, and is a poor sign on his customer service. He has yet to own up to this, has he?
2. This is still you avoiding the question. How old is your production, read NOT BETAS, TC?
3. See 1.
4. That is a sign of different issues. It has no relevance on the economic principles, and whether huge money is in the pocket books of those applying them.
5. Even if I read through all 22 pages. Most of it is filled with hyperbole, and what Geoff has named the The Last Tweak Syndrome. There is little talk of preferences, goals, and systems. I might dig further when I have time, but a sample, or 1/2 unit would a no brainer. I think you would agree that no matter what anyone says, the true mettle of an audio product is trying it in one’s own system.
6. Again sidestepping the negative review. As to the return policy, if it is different from what Audiogon states, then I would appreciate if you just said so. What is the return policy?
I have laid out THREE questions very clearly. When you answer them, then you can continue your response of "Have your questions been answered to your satisfaction," when you should know they currently have not. Right now you are coming off as a a combination of the archetypes of the used car salesman and the white knight.
Steve ...
During my first listening session after applying TC for the first time, I was playing an excellent recording of a female voice. My room mate, no audiophile himself, came out of his room and said ... "It sounds so clear that I really thought someone was singing in the living room." This from a guy who had never even seen a high end system before moving in here.

You used this same example with the Synergistic fuse. I always find it humorous when people continue to use this example. "Of course it works! Even my non-audiophile wife/daughter/son/friend/roommate/neighbor/dog/cat/gerbil/pet fish/rabbit...can hear the difference." My favorite, "my son knows how it’s supposed sound, he’s in his high school band!" 😂
