In Reply to: If lover spurned = potential buyer turned off, then... posted by KKC on February 17, 2007 at 04:45:02:
Problems with the ASL stuff were so widespread that I put those disclaimers about all sales final. I wanted them to go to guy that knew their way around a circuit board. If I were a dirtbag, the first thing I would do is take your money...not sit of stuff for three or four years.I bought three pairs of Hurricanes as my last purchase and asked the importer directly if they were problematic. He said they had some isues, but it was fixed now. At the same time the EL-34 amp they shipped in their last delivery had a problem. If you used a new old stock 12AU7 in place of the stock JJ 12AU7.....EL-34 in the #3 position would run away. And the last shipment of headphone amps needed a grid-stop resistor installed because they woul oscillate.
So here I am with these three pair of Hurricanes. I stopped selling all of it. There was no PrimaLuna at the time I made the decision, and in fact I said "no" to even the idea of PrimaLuna because I didn't think it could be done right. I had enough with Chinese stuff that didn't work.
So the expediant thing to do is tell everyone it's great...get my money, and run. Is that what I should have done? The three pairs of Hurricanes were here for years because I would warn people they should not be "beginners". So tell me the truth now that you know the facts.....what kind of person does this make me?
So I warned people as hard and honestly as I could, and that can be mis-read. Of those three pairs of monoblocs......all three failed. So I made no money, was at least true to myself, but the customer is left holding the bag.
How would you handle it?
