Is it just me, or did the valentine’s day update drop a little late? Mar 24, 2023

      Apos ghosted me. Looking into them, it’s a one-man operation with expired business filings. F-tier BBB, 2.6* trustpilot. I’d stay away.

        @YMO read down Entropy's profile posts.

        Looks like he really was dealing with A POS here.

        (Tangentially... My brain gets well confused when this abbreviation means "point of sale," usually applied to hardware/software)

        Are you “sejarzo” on ASR, @Entropy? I just saw their thread about the BBB complaints and APOS’s current location. I think I bought from APOS in 2020, so perhaps before this move. IIRC, back then someone posted convincing evidence that APOS was a U.S. outpost of ShenzenAudio.

        Josh, I'm Another guy (Anander). That's an interesting theory, but a while back I contacted both of them asking about the pa5, and they have different answers, so maybe not. Of course, that isn't definitive evidence, though.

        @bixby, They're very responsive when you buy something, But not so much when it's time to hold their end of the bargain.

        One thing I have learned after 4 decades of buying stuff is the response time and the response is part of what you are buying. I had to go to the AG of Oregon to get one person to almost deliver after 8 months of BS. And he was the S of PS audio. I have no money or time for the quacks of audio.

        @bixby Support. It matters. The thing that sucks is when you pay extra fees for support and still don't get it. Or the people who you're dealing with are so green as to be useless.

        That’s probably for the best. They are not a joy to work with. As a side note, they only offered this after 4 months and 3 prior requests for a refund

      Spent today listening to AS801. I once said I didn't think different amps would change the sound of my speakers much. Mistakes were made.

      Ended up purchasing an As-801 from a local dealer. $450 in like-new condition... a bit of a steal imo.

        That’s a really good amp for the money. It’s the best value I’ve found for driving philharmonic BMR.

      Looking at a DIY rack to mount the huge As301 by the side of my desk. My speaker cables aren't gonna make it by 6 inches.. Argh.

      I oftentimes have strong feelings of 'inadequacy' here... so much I can't start to comment on. I've got plenty to learn and see, I suppose.

        I've had nightmares almost every night for 6-10 years, and I felt wretched in the mornings. I still have nightmares fairly often, but they don't affect me at all, and each one has a distinctive message that I understand immediately upon awakening. I was praying during those years, but I was praying for the wrong thing: I was praying for better dreams, not for whatever God wants for me.

        @Claritas , Oof. One bad nightmare sucks, a few have shaken me up for several hours during the day. One nightly for years on end? Pretty dang awful. Glad to hear that you're doing better now.
