they didn't have the product set up correctly or use it correctly, or didn't give it a chance to break in, or received a used (or abused) item with problems not there when it was new, or the best one, it was a completely different component that was causing a problem.The recent poster is certainly not the only one who's done this. They have now joined the ranks of many others who are guilty of this "quick-to-accuse" mentality. Even the "Reviews" webpages include incidents similar to this. "This product isn't any good." - and then - "Ooops; this product is pretty good."
THAT'S what sucks: the misidentification of the "problem" doesn't get properly identified until much later and the original post is now isolated from the explanation (and sometimes apology) for the accusation. If someone does a search of the archives, they may only get the original post declaring how bad something is.
Slow down; ask questions without the assumptions before you make accusations of poor quality or sound. Give yourself and the product some time. Get things straight before firing off negative posts.
