Entropy

More news on Eric. In a recent, deleted youtube comment he blamed the whole ordeal on a recently fired employee (and called her out by name using first name, last initial).. 2015 on his business's blog: "Wife kidnapped my kids [custody battle] FBI and police are ignoring me." Recent excuse for late shipment on products: "My wife kidnapped my kids and I'm going through divorce" (years after divorce proceedings)

Must have been the same elusive abusive employee that was working at Verum…

You should be able to tell people what you’re hearing without using technical terms, except for the most rudimentary (such as “mid-bass,” “decay”). Macro-this, micro-that—I don’t buy it.

Disagreements and differing opinions are not bad. The point of having a forum at all is to have these discussions, not to have a hive mind that only thinks a certain way (which is totally not what happens in reality, I get it). Ultimately, describing sound is a lot like describing food.

@YMO read down Entropy's profile posts.

Looks like he really was dealing with A POS here.

(Tangentially... My brain gets well confused when this abbreviation means "point of sale," usually applied to hardware/software)

Are you “sejarzo” on ASR, @Entropy? I just saw their thread about the BBB complaints and APOS’s current location. I think I bought from APOS in 2020, so perhaps before this move. IIRC, back then someone posted convincing evidence that APOS was a U.S. outpost of ShenzenAudio.

Josh, I'm Another guy (Anander). That's an interesting theory, but a while back I contacted both of them asking about the pa5, and they have different answers, so maybe not. Of course, that isn't definitive evidence, though.

@bixby, They're very responsive when you buy something, But not so much when it's time to hold their end of the bargain.

One thing I have learned after 4 decades of buying stuff is the response time and the response is part of what you are buying. I had to go to the AG of Oregon to get one person to almost deliver after 8 months of BS. And he was the S of PS audio. I have no money or time for the quacks of audio.

@bixby Support. It matters. The thing that sucks is when you pay extra fees for support and still don't get it. Or the people who you're dealing with are so green as to be useless.

Good to know. Another crossed off the list. Lol

That’s probably for the best. They are not a joy to work with. As a side note, they only offered this after 4 months and 3 prior requests for a refund

Never sounded better! Now, I wonder what would happen, if...

Confirmed @caute can't count to 7 ;-)

Yeah the Yammies have a different flavour for sure.

That’s a really good amp for the money. It’s the best value I’ve found for driving philharmonic BMR.

Read and study the content here, it truly is an encyclopedia/warehouse of top notch information. Keeping clutter down in threads is appreciated, no need for 50 updates on what you are doing in a 24hr period.

You recognized in the thread what the local customs were, that's worth a "hey, you're getting it" :) Welcome aboard.

Thanks! Happy to be here.

I've had nightmares almost every night for 6-10 years, and I felt wretched in the mornings. I still have nightmares fairly often, but they don't affect me at all, and each one has a distinctive message that I understand immediately upon awakening. I was praying during those years, but I was praying for the wrong thing: I was praying for better dreams, not for whatever God wants for me.

@Claritas I'm glad you've found some relief, even if we walk different faith paths. Best regards

@Claritas , Oof. One bad nightmare sucks, a few have shaken me up for several hours during the day. One nightly for years on end? Pretty dang awful. Glad to hear that you're doing better now.
