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

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?
No it isn't.
-----------------------
But what upsets me the most is the bunch of advices that lead to classified ads - thanks a lot pal.
Find sockers some place else.

2. Dealers that are OK usually keep they mounth shut so they won't be scrutinized for being promoting their products. Those are the ones that I would actually like to hear.......as long as they do not take it too far.
You know who you are "A" and "T" - I won't say your name but your advice is always welcome.

Cheers
