Pet audiophile peeves - name yours


1. Power supplies that are not the same size or finish as the preamp. Who decided this was a good idea?

2. Ridiculous and obvious snake oil salesman

1. Sellers who post "obo" then get upset because you offer $3000 for the posted $3200.
When I see "obo" this indicates that they are willing to consider less (or more) than the stated price- yezz, noo???

2. Members who post their political opinions when someone is merely pointing out a conceert they enjoyed, or music they like, or even a message in a song.
For instance- the great talented American- Bruce Springsteen!!! Or the great John Lennon.
Go someplace else on the web to vent politics. This site is about music, sound, stereo, and sometimes we might even become friends.
This is both good reading and good venting ;)

I second the vote for ads that state something like "if you are reading this then you already know how great this is. Nothing else needs to be said."

I love reading those and then seeing that the ad has been running for 3+ weeks with no sale. Good times...
People who complain about free speech, oh yeah......... and Bruce Springsteen.
Those pretentious, self-annointed legends-in-their-own-minds who claim their ears are better than those of the rest of us. Therefore, they are in a better position to judge sonic attributes and their judgements should not be questioned.

BTW, I enjoy Bill Feil's comments and calling out of those who think they are wise. No matter what you do there is always some detractor. Keep it up, Bill.
1) "I'm rating it an 8 but it's closer to a 9"
2) "Minty"
3) "Great product. Heartbroken to have to give this up. Worked great in my system" etc. in conjunction with "Low hours, lightly used" etc.
4) People who get snarky over a typo. We're not writing a thesis, just making a quick post in a forum.
