Matt,
 
As far as I'm concerned I've said everything I needed to say regarding this issue and the refund via e-mail not just over the last few days but months, you know what the cost was and how much money is owed, it is now up to you to come to some sort of resolution, I have told you that I'm not willing to accept bit part payments and would want it paid in full via paypal, I have even said that if I have to wait while you get your affairs in order I'm willing to do that, which I think is fair but you must update me on the situation and keep me in the loop, I'm on the other side of the world here and unfortunately I don't have the ability to read minds.
 
In regards to your posts above, I don't think there is any need for the language and cursing, you may be a stand up guy but I can only go off first impression and with the way this entire thing has been handled on your behalf it does not look good or professional, I've been civil and fair in my comments only stating facts which I have backed up, yes I'm frustrated about this but I'm not losing my temper or swearing.
 
I'm not on any kind of personal vendetta against you, as far as I'm concerned as I've previously stated my review is fair and precise, I have not fabricated any of the situation or blown it out of proportion, I'm just an extremely disappointed customer who wants closure with this on going issue.
 
Cheers,

That's gonna be a whole 'nother can-o-worms....

Soon to be day #179.

This is bullshit. Express priority (EMS) issues a tracking number. It's pretty much the safest and quickest way to send things. Also, Matt saying that he had an extra $300 box set and would send that to you and then leading you on and on while playing nice.. I heard this song before to the tune of negative $500. The onus of proof is on Matt for not providing the tracking info.

Sounds to me like you need to dig out the customs receipt that you got when you shipped and look for the 13 digit code. You should have kept this as iit would be the only way to prove shipping so you surely have this. Then you can just scan that in and sent to Philipp. He can then use his domestic tracking and see where it is. This is regardless of what service you have purchased. Custom number alone is enough.
 
One of you is dodging the issue, only you guys know who. And the one who is better documented is likely the one telling the truth.
 
No need to share anything on here right now, talk amongst yourself. I am pretty sure this comes back here anyway via one of you if it is not resolved...

All international mail from the USPS includes tracking. All of it. It might not track all the way there, but it at least shows when it leaves the US.
 
Unless I'm missing some information, dude sounds like a scam.

6-7 months later...I think you deserve $300 back for sure.

If you sell an expensive item, it is your responsibility to secure the tracking number. No excuses. Leading someone on for months is lame and reminiscent of true scammers.

Sorry, but you cursing and trying to angrily point the finger back at him just makes you look worse, dude. If you want to keep it private, then keep it private and don't feed fuel to the fire. Give him the tracking or the partial refund or whatever and just stop posting in here. He's been civil this whole time, and your post just escalated the tone of the conversation to aggressive very quickly.

Matt,
 
I'm not wanting to start a shouting match or spat with you here, but facts are facts between me sending e-mail after e-mail asking questions and just looking for a general update it has usually taking you a month or in most cases even longer to get back to me.
 
May I also point out that another cause of my frustration was that I could see you were using the VC on usually a daily basis posting in various topics, which as you can imagine had left me feeling ignored, I even tried to PM you on here, but again no response.
 
Can I also point out that I can not believe you have the cheek to call me out in the above post for not answering an e-mail which is only a day old!
 
Yes you e-mailed me the day of this review, I will admit that, regarding sorting out some sort of refund, but even then that was the first e-mail I had received from you since June/July when I received a 1 liner saying you had been ill with flu.
 
Also can I highlight that you have stated to me that you are now selling other items to cover my refund, all you had to do was write me a brief e-mail explaining this and that would of sufficed and probably put my mind at ease for a while longer, but NO the first I knew about this was when I woke up yesterday to find that you were selling "another copy" of the Toe Boxset on Discogs, needless to say I was shocked at this and as far as I was concerned my patience had finally ran out.
 
Surely people can see, including you Matt, why my frustration had finally boiled over and I felt that this review had to be written?

I've said it before, and I'll say it again.........
 
When dealing with circumstances such as this, always file a PayPal claim on day # 44 no matter what.

Just had a clean up of mine and a move around of some Boxsets that I'd finally found space for!

Ok, so some pretty huge upgrades have taken place to this bedroom paradise since I last posted, so I thought I'd fill yall in.

Here's a shot from my listening couch.




The most obvious change was the addition of a new VTI equipment rack. it looks gorgeous and I was able to fill the support pillars with sand to make it totally dead of vibration.

The next most obvious changes are those blue meters. Yes, I crossed over to the dark side. I acquired a C712 preamp and MC7150 amplifier both in mint condition and from the early 90s.

The C712 is a beautiful slimline preamp that is the exact same as a c38 minus the tape functions (which I have no use for).


The MC7150 is a everything I could ask for in an amp. It displays all characters of the music with ease and finesse, incredibly well balanced. I'm beginning to understand the magic synergy Mac and JBL have together. And at a very conservative 150wpc, it's more than I'll ever need in this space.


The new Marantz CD6005 is a great bargain of a cd player and I'm completely happy with it. My CDs have never sounded to detailed and musical, I really understand now what I was missing with my old player.


And most importantly I finally have a RCM! An old VPI HW-16 that's been upgraded to a 16.5. A long overdue addition.



Unseen changes are: 12g Belden/Blue Jean speaker cables for my L80t's, Morrow Audio MA1 interconnects for my amp/preamp connection, and Wireworld Luna 7 interconnects for my cd player.
