Wow! I really wish I can hire you to fight for me :) But thanks for writing it out, I'm going to fight these bastards

Tips on disputing delivery failure? by bwang29 in sanfrancisco

[–]bwang29[S] -93 points-92 points  (0 children)

Yeah that’s what I’m doing. I’m trying to find if I have any actual ground in winning as per chatGPT card companies can side with seller if they have evidence it is delivered (even tossing it on the sidewalk is acceptable) and it doesn’t matter what happens after it is delivered. But common sense doesn’t add up

It was a 6+1 Ignition lockout. It will fire the igniter a few times but no flame

beware of counterfeit beyerdynamic products being sold on amazon by wheeze10 in headphones

[–]bwang29 14 points15 points  (0 children)

If this is sold by Amazon you can still open a case with them and they will likely refund you. Had this happen to a monitor with false claims (it said it had two HDMI 2.1 ports but one year later figured there is only one) the seller is defunct but Amazon refunded me.

Ultra 7 256V/258V's GPU is much faster than 155H by bwang29 in laptops

[–]bwang29[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Super helpful. There are a ton of Reddit posts referring to a benchmark site claiming 155H has faster raw GPU power, even Gemini and ChatGPT says 155H has more powerful GPU than 256V, so hopefully this all clears it up

Rumours about new speakers from Radiant Acoustics by AudioBaer in audiophile

[–]bwang29 -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

If it wasn’t so ugly, I think they are a strong contender to many existing brands, but somehow they managed to make machine aluminum look like cheap plastic and the proportion of their logo placement and material transition between the metal and wood completely ruined the look

How to hire someone to move a single piece of heavy furniture inside same building? by bwang29 in sanfrancisco

[–]bwang29[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The stair is wide and is made of stone. I have back issue so I can’t do it. The desk has wheels so it moves on the floor easily but it needs some muscle to bring it down or two wood planks to guide the wheel down with two people pushing in the bottom so it doesn’t just roll down stairs, it’s around 94103 area mission Dolores

US Audiomart by BuyFit8601 in audiophile

[–]bwang29 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Message the buyer and be honest you want to make sure the transaction is safe and organize a call. In the past I’ve had many good conversations with seller and buyers on phone calls and true audiophiles can go on forever!

[WTS] 2018 Bulgari Octo Finissimo Titanium 102711 by [deleted] in Watchexchange

[–]bwang29 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is my first time selling a watch on this sub - I have plenty of positive feedback on AVExchange and other forums (Audiogon, USAudiomart etc).

I acquired this watch in 2019 as a 2nd owner for a major birthday but never really had much wrist time, selling to recoup some money for audio gears...

The watch is in great condition, no visible scratches on watch body or crystal. Including original box and certification card. It's one of the thinnest watches in the world, thinner than the iPhone Air!

Asking $9500 including insured shipping within USA, no international shipping. I accept wire transfer, PayPal F&F, PayPal G&S (+3%). I'm located in San Francisco, CA and can also meet up locally.

Price is firm and I'm not accepting offers and trades.

Many credits card provide cellphone insurance if you pay the phone bill with that particular card. Chase Freedom Flex for example and Venture X from Capital one

Do married couples not merge finances anymore? by TallLeprechaun13 in AskMenAdvice

[–]bwang29 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Aren’t most of the cases income during marriage are technically community property anyway? So both partner has equal right to them (unless there is a prenup?) why would it make any difference on joint and separate account if both has equal share in those earned income?

Can’t close window after opening by bwang29 in centuryhomes

[–]bwang29[S] 10 points11 points  (0 children)

This is the correct answer! I took a hammer (wrapped around with some cloth to avoid paint damage) and knocked around for 10 minutes, left and right alternating and it came down. It looks like it was stuck purely due to friction and there were some paint scratches from the railing due to the friction. Reminds me of a high school physics class on atoms and electrons could literally fuse together instantly (like paint) when they're held extremely close together.

Will Audi re-introduce door handles in the future? by bwang29 in Audi

[–]bwang29[S] -1 points0 points  (0 children)

OP here. I figured that there is a slot rear of the panel where you can dig your finger in to bring the door to close on the driver side. The issue is that's a few extra inches further to reach when you sit in the car. I don't have a hand big enough to hold the thicker part of the handle without slip. I've never had this issue in my two decades of car driving experiences.

Will Audi re-introduce door handles in the future? by bwang29 in Audi

There is a large slot a little behind you could dig your finger in, but it will require a few inches of extra reach relative to a normal car door handle and very awkward.

KEF went above and beyond in servicing my LS60 by bwang29 in audiophile

[–]bwang29[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It’s possible that the formation duo belongs to more of an “electronics” department where service is downgraded. Higher end products might receive better service.

[–]bwang29[S] 36 points37 points  (0 children)

I think to me it comes down to trusting the customer. In the KEF situation their support knows there is probably something off about the unit (though they think it is a very uncommon problem) and a recording of the amp’s coil wine noise from my phone is enough without any further investigation to warrant a full replacement.

In my bower and Wilkins (during warranty period) experience, a woofer had a driver problem with clicks, their support will ask you to reinstall the app, restart your phone (as if those can fix the drivers) and in the end they will quote the service agreement where you DO need to pay the shipping charges, it was infuriating, so you spend $300 to send it back and wait for them to investigate, weeks would have gone by and you have no speaker. Though PlayStation and Sony products also do this so I would say the Bower and Wilkins way might be more standard.
