    I hope this does not happen again. After years in hospitality and customer service I know that bad communication can really spoil it regarding customer relations.

    I still think a few lashings are in order. Even if it was done by someone else, he didn't properly vette the guy and is the face of the company.

    I just glanced through that stuff. A very weird episode.
    
    Just posted a /ten-year-old/ airline-customer-complaint video on another forum. Marketing and service departments need to know that the bad stuff doesn't go away.

  Is it OK if a MOT says “i hope you'll die from cancer soon”? I asked x 4 to cancel my order & he shipped anyway, so I opened PP case.

    In Dutch culture it is customary to curse in many illnesses from past epidemics. It is never personal, just a way to express discontent. To make it personal is to declare war on someone else. Do that and you ask for trouble...

    Yea, not excusing it at all - it annoys the shite out of me. Just laying out the realities as I've experienced them. I've bought cables from Trevor for many years, and it's gradually gotten worse as his cables are better known.

    Bought speakers first and next components. He likes Schiit products; he currently owns Modi Multibit and Vali 2

    Is he planning to use Modi Multibit with them as well? If so, that would also likely be a good match IMO, since it probably has the most forgiving top end, which was the main issue I had with the LS50s. Vidar definitely creates some really solid bass with them.

    Seems like the logical choice given the preference for Schiit and the current single-ended gear. Aegir likely wouldn't be enough power, an opinion triangulated by my experience that Ragnarok does not have enough power for them.

    It sounds like some of us have different fundamental perspectives on the goal with vinyl. For me it was never about chasing the best possible sound quality to beat out a DAC, hence I am A-OK with having a decent vinyl chain and putting the money saved into some nice records. To me, DAC chasing gets quite frustrating.

    With digital there will always be newer and better. It never ends! But you know, the hobby is the hobby; you've got to have a good dac for those vinyl musical selections that you just can't afford or find and then you get sucked back into the rabbit hole. No free lunches. I am sorry for the rambling and glad you found a buyer GP ;)

    They're better than the stock caps with similar tonality. Jupiter caps sound more "Hifi" to me. I think Audio cap Theta works better with HD800 but the best of the best are supposedly the Dueland caps.

    One could look at it that way too. The line is from the song “No Love Today”. I assume Smither is talking about love. However, I thought it is applicable for many things.

    Nice. Is S7’s midrange wetter than BW2’s midrange? Or does it depend on the tubes?

    It does indeed depend on tubes, I think that is an advantage of S7. With my tube setup now, the S7 is only a little wetter. The S7 has a larger stage, but the BW2 excels in clarity which is what I was looking for.
