A few months back I purchased a Vacuum State modded Sony 9000ES SACD player from Gander2 (Gary Anderson), a seller on Audiogon with perfect feedback. When I received the player it would not play the SACD layers of over 50% of the disks I fed it. At first the seller refused to take responsibility for the defect saying it was a known Sony issue and the player was functioning normally. After much protesting on my part, he then insisted I take steps to have it repaired before he would consider a return. After multiple attempts, all with his consent, the player continued to malfunction. His response then was to claim that "now that I have obviously tampered with it, he couldn't possibly take it back."Following this incident I have left negative feedback for Gander2 and also opened a dispute. The feedback was never posted and the dispute (following a response and a rebuttal where I caught him in several lies backed up by saved emails) was summarrily canceled with no explanation.
Just today, I left another negative feedback covering the same incident (in violation of their policy) in order to see if I would get any response.
