Here's the description of a sale in Audiogon....I couldn't stop laughing....

"6 X Mundorf 2.2uf gold-silver cap + 2 X mundorf 10uf MKP + jena labs wire upgrade . i did upgrade ,i guess when i was doing i mixed some wires (sound perfect & caps did not burn yet !) with turntable just fine but when i turn selector to cd i still hear turntable . thats the problem i guess that can fix. i have original box . i cant close the covers cause of the caps that i upgrade to big . for me i don't care how its look like all point is sound and sound great .. local buyers welcome .. "

I've noticed a growing trend with a lot of AGON people not following the scale to much. Kinda annoying to see the pictures of an 8/10 and see huge gashes on the front panels.

I just sent the following message to the seller - we will see how he responds. Bet you he comes back with none of my business or the sound is better than a 10 and therefore he rated it an 8.

How do you justify your rating of 8 out of 10 when the inputs have been incorrectly modified and the covers will no longer close?

What exactly rates this as an "8"? For reference - here is an "8" scale on audiogon...

8 / 10 - Very good - Perfect front face, 1 minor flaw on top or side is acceptable.


This item has seen some use, but still appears perfect from the front. A perfect front face plate includes the front top edge. Be sure and check this edge since it is very easy to nick. On speakers, all four front edges should be inspected.
Electronics may have 1 or 2 minor scratches (max 1/2" long, very thin) on the top plate or the sides of electronics, but again, the front must be perfect. There should be no signs of rack mounting. Chrome should have no pitting, but may have some discoloration in spots less than 1/4" diameter. Silk-screening has no separations, and the lettering shows no wear.
Speakers may have minor discoloration along edges, but no scratches that show through the veneer, except for the bottom, which may show signs of stand mounting or floor scraping.
Turntables covers may be slightly hazy from record sleeves being laid on them, but should not have any highly visible scratches anywhere. The headshell may have some scratches from cartridge mounting.

Well, here is his reply. Since this was the first e-mail I have ever sent to him, I assume I am not the first to question his rating....

hello again mister ! thats my item- for me 11 of 10 you wanna buy or

dont have to spend time for emails ! no more email ! have a good day

I hope he keeps his great sounding piece for a long long time.....

Edit - btw - My guess was spot on.

Ricardo

Well....someone was impressed with the 11 of 10 (even though the guy has 0 feedback...); shows sale pending now

You should welcome him to the U S and A.

I think he meant to say that it does not work 8 out of 10 times. I hope this clears it up or was that 11 out of 10 times, carry on.

I fail to see the problem with this unit. Well worth the $1700 someone paid.
