audiogon members or dealers

just want to know who you would rather deal with?A member with a good rating ,or a dealer.I bought a set of cables in september,with a warrenty,and sent them back to get repaired,they set in his store for 2 weeks and then he shipped to the company who made them,they have been at the company since dec,and after i was told they were going to be shipped friday ,they call me and say they dont have the product to repair them...my point is every thing i bought from a member,has worked out great, if there was a problem it always got worked out..but with dealers,its always a run around.and the company who makes the cable is huge,and very well known, i guess thats why dealers in this hobby are hurting.poor service.but at 40 years old the girl at the electic company makes me mad

Audiogon members are preffered by me.Here is my latest experience with a member.
He had a Krell metal remote for sale.He had sold his Krell MD-1 transport and after a long time found the remote in his closet.I noticed his ad and I offered to buy it,we agreed on the price,and he also mentioned to me that he had no way of knowing if the remote was functional but it should be OK.Now my equipment is stored away due to home renovations,so I couldn't chech the remote right away either .So I send the guy a M.O check and a week and a half later the remote came.To my total suprise I found enclosed the near mint metal remote control.and an envelope with a note saying "that he couldn't accept my money if he wasn't 100% sure that the remote is OK",a postal money order was inclosed with the sum I had send him.
THAT IS HONESTY GENTLEMEN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Audiogon is the best and we got some fine members to prove it.I can provide the screen name of the member for those that wish to know,e-mail me privately.

it sounds like the manufacture...have you talked to them directly ?
most cable manufactures are pretty good to work with.... i have had good experiences with xlo, tara, audience..

sometimes they get a little pricey if you are looking to spilt 1 long cable into 2 shorter (ie nordost)

well the dealer is talking to me ,but the manufacture is the one giving me the run around,they said reciept said demo with warrenty,would have to call dealer,and told dealer they are to far gone to make repairs,these cables are brand new ,just the xlr twist back in forth causing a short,which is very common with this brand,everytime i call the manufacture i get the run around,this is a major player in the industry to.well lets see what happens next week,i will post later who it is.im done with them for ever,and i have been a 20 year customer to,and megga bucks spent.

Very discouraging to hear this. As a 20 year customer you deserve better. They should have sent you a new pair no questions asked.
