    I like his style. I especially like the part about helping to pick up sticks in his yard. Hillarious!

    Funny, yes. Alienating potential customers, yes again. Does he care, absolutely not.

    Sounds like he was hitting the sauce when placing the ad and added in some extra bits with emotion :biggrin:

    H9: If you don't trust what you are hearing, then maybe you need to be less invested in a hobby which all the pleasure comes from listening to music.

    That's a nice preamp for a reasonable price! Top quality build, it won't last at that price. The guy has great feedback.

    If the top edge nicks bother you, all it would take is about 2 minutes with a new and sharp mill **** file to get rid of them. If you want, I can remove the nicks for you after purchasing. Aluminum is relatively soft and files down easily.

    And now you have a piece of gear wih metal filings in it just waiting for the power to be turned on. :rolleyes:

    Thanks John.:tongue:

    I went and read some of his other ad descriptions. The same personality is in them too. He types what's on his mind.:biggrin:
    Most people just listen to music and watch movies. I EXPERIENCE them.

    Bought from him before. Despite the "attitude", which I happen to like, the gear is usually priced fairly, & he's a good guy to deal with.
