Russian Tube Preamp, No Return, Here I go again

I decided to risk it, Russian, no return. (he accepted my $400. offer, so $500. delivered).

Gives me tubes in my office system.

I just read something:

People don’t want advice, just confirmation

I’m not looking for either (this time), just thought some of you would find it funny and wish me luck.

I’m 72, it may arrive before my 75th birthday

just bought a BDP-105 for $900.

https://www.usaudiomart.com/details/649715749-oppo-bdp-105-blue-ray-3d-pre-amp-digital-inout-lanstre...

I asked seller to confirm very little use of laser

" Hi Elliott? I am GUARANTEEING that this unit Looks, Plays, and Sounds like brand new! I have played 5cd’s, NO dvd’s, and have only used it for streaming music from my computer. I did make a brief video with it powered up & playing---but it would not upload. If you decide to purchase, it will be blatantly obvious how fresh and new this is just by unpacking the contents.....I would put aside any Laser issue fears with this model, it is like factory new---5cd = 5hrs (approx) on the Laser & all other use via USB from my computer!

Re: "How do you search for a seller on eBay..."

Upper right on eBay page, click "Advanced" to the right of the Search button, and scroll down to the Sellers section. Check the "Only show items from:" and "Specific sellers.." boxes and type the seller’s user id in the window beside the include/exclude drop-down. Then click the Search button.

I did that. It never occurred to me: he doesn't have any current listings, so nothing came up.

I was looking to find his profile: approval rating, sales history, evidently has sold 360 items,

nothing came up.

elliott,
I'm sure that it sounds perfectly fine to you and your friend. I'm just saying that if you compare it to a really fine player, it has an artificial and electronic signature to it. Hey, they didn't cost a fortune, so you can't expect too much.

i'll quote lewm

"The BDP105 and the 205 are possibly the best DVD players ever made that are not astronomically expensive".

that's my goal with anything.
