WOW. This thread has degenerated. Buy whatever you want, from wherever you want.
If 5% restock fee is beyond your means, perhaps you should fish in a smaller pond, or choose another vendor. Amazon gives returns up to like 60 or 90 days, lol.
Who cares?
You folks are not "influencers". Stop it already. Nobody gives a shit what you think, nobody cares what I think......enough already. Support a US business when you can, don’t when you cannot. I don’t care anymore. Audiophiles suck.
Obviously you care. You posted. You took your time to rag on this thread.
"Enough already"? LOG OFF. CLICK AWAY. BEGONE.
Perhaps you don’t understand what a ’discussion forum’ is. I suggest you do so research and try to not be mean to people. This is a hobby, and the forum discussion is for fun.
Don't make your anger our problem.
