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

No doubt Bill, it seems lately there are some high priced garbage lisitng and "HotStamper" is in heavy rotation, I wonder if its one big offender or a few idiots......they dont appear to sell which is a bit of justice.
Speaker cables that cost more than a benz, tell how 10ft of wire can cost this much.
People who pay a fraction of retail for a used item and expect a piece better than new.
Sold a used subwoofer to an anal customer at close to one third of the retail price with clearly stated, conservatively rated 8/10 condition. After receiving it, he puts it under fluorescent lights looking for wood imperfections. Then proceeds to accuse me of obfuscating the truth, poor packing (double-boxed) and every other imaginable audiophile sin that exists on the face of the earth. Lesson: never ignore the red flags dealing with a bloody anal type.
Rude and obnoxious audio dealers who feel they "know it all". Maybe I found one in this thread?
