Re: A power cord "as-filter"...

Why the lowbrow shot about building in a garage?

With all due respect, Doug, your e-mails indicated buyer's remorse before the cable even hit your door. You stated that you wanted to return the cable the same day you received it because you thought it was too stiff. Then you e-mailed me and said you had worked things out and were going to put on your computer for a couple weeks to expedite burn-in. You owned the cable a grand total of ONE more day before returning. This was despite my recommendation (and numerous user comments) that it needed proper time to "burn-in", partly a by-product of the Teflon dielectric and insulation used.

Your 13+ e-mails to me throughout this process were responded to quickly and professionally, and in one of your e-mails you even wrote "It's such a pleasure to deal with an honest and courteous person like yourself. It's down right frustrating to deal with other people on web sites who would tell you anything in order to sell their products. I myself do extensive research before I buy anything. It's people like yourself that make the world a better place.

When you indicated you wanted to return it, there was no hassle, and the funds were credited immediately after I received the cable. You had 60 days to evaluate it yet declined to do so.

So other than the fact that you were unwilling to follow instructions on the operation of this product, where's the beef?

For the record, I don't build cables in my garage or kitchen table, but if I did, so what? If you want to buy mass-produced cables made in large factories, by companies with huge ad budgets, that's your perogative. Quite frankly, I'm pleased to hear you will do business with them.
