That Other Audiophile Website


I failed to mention. I returned the cd player to the seller. It cost me $105 in shipping charges.

The truth will set you free:

Made a low offer on listing which was accepted. Unit listed as near mint for cosmetic and working condition. Buyer complained of cigarette smell after receiving the unit and wanted to return even though unit works and looks like new as listed. I was unaware of the odor or would have noted in the listing. However listed stated no returns and buyer forced the issue through PayPal. Buyers negative feedback indicates smoke damage which is an outright lie as there is no damage whatsoever. Unit could have been easily cleaned to remove odor which buyer was unwilling to do. Unreasonable to expect a used 12+ year old piece of equipment to not need cleaning of some sort.

" It cost me $105 in shipping charges."
Good, consider it a fine for annoying us with these 3 lame threads.
Everything I get I clean with either scent free or scented baby wipes!

  If it was in NM cond, and worked, I would have kept it.




   I bought my flagship player used, pioneer dv-79avi, had a slight cigarette or cigar smell, wiped her down with baby wipes, opened her up, oiled the tray rails w a toothpick of oil on all moving parts with synthetic oil. Blew it out with compressed air, (didn’t need it)
   She sits in my rack and I’m hoping to get many more years from this top tier cd/dvd/sacd player.
    The Pat travers Japanese mini LP CDs, simply are perfection!

if it was wrecked, or heavily scratched, return it.
a smell of smoke, meh, not a huge issue …….

ymmv
$105?
Oh the humanity!
You can get it back pronto with some inspired sports betting.  
MAKE IT RAIN.
Give it a rest tominnj.
You've made your point, numerous times.

Beyond reason now.

You are without doubt psychologically unattuned to conducting business transactions with anybody let alone sellers of used equipment.
Used equipment is what it says on the box.
Used. Period.

You don't seem to function like normal human beings.

Go back into your hole and stop bothering us with your nonsense.
Whoever cares to listen: I paid a total of $210.00 in shipping charges. I have nothing to show for it. I returned the  cd player to the seller. How many of you are willing to fork over $210.00 of your hard earned money and get nothing in return. Probably none. This is my last post. Take care,
 And give it up already. Tom
