My comment relating to you keeping half the money is in reference to how you kept it going for so long. The other members I am aware of, that were scammed by you, have explained their incident as receiving a partial refund and cables, the half comment was a guestimate. The fact that you took me for all my money is why the scam came to light. If you would of sent me a partial refund, by the way 400 dollars is not half so it wouldn’t apply to my statement or incident even if I did receive your mythological payment, I probably would of walked away and chalked it up as a misfortune.
My experience with you has left me in dismay. You have done what I considered to be impossible. I sent a member of audiogon, with a considerable amount of positive feedback, 861 dollars and you ripped me off. I am still scratching my head over this. I have lost all faith in the controls to prevent being scammed.
Your reference to CPK not having as much feedback as you, means nothing. Your feedback comes from selling nickel and dime items. Your like the 5 & dime store of cables. You sell sub par cables for less than a 100 dollars. In fact your cables are some of the cheapest available. Most of your customers are beginners or people on a strict budget. They don’t have the experience with cables to begin with, let alone decent cables costing a bit more. Not to mention, what kind of systems your cables are being installed in. Look at your system... this is a copy and paste from you.
"My current reference speakers are modified Fostex Fe167e drivers in a TQWP enclosure"
And I have seen the level of your electronics in your ads.
Your customers see your false claims of gold and silver at such a low cost, and pull the trigger thinking what’s to loose? If they are better than my Monster or generic cables, I made an improvement with little cost. If they are not, I only risked 80 bucks or so. So they take a chance. When they install your cables they probably convince themselves there is an improvement. All your feedback and positive reviews are based on how inexpensive your cables are. Anyone can go out there and find a gauge, metal and jacket that performs ok...Twist it up in their mothers basement (you did let everyone know you still live at home right?) with a drill and sell them for cheap on audiogon. You can convince anyone that they sound good. Its a 50/50 chance. Hitler convinced people of all kinds of things.
You made the same comment about my feedback, CPK and I could start selling nick knacks on audiogon too and rack up a bunch of positive feedback. What is the point, its not worth our time, I make more money at my job. This type of feedback doesn’t mean sh-t, and your a prime example of that. A guy sells a bunch of CDs and Vinyl. He acquires a bunch of positive feedback. Then he lists a 10,000 dollar turntable….are you comfortable sending this guy 10,000 dollars across country for a SPJ La Luce? (do you know what that is?) I don’t think so.
I tried your Gold Super helix (or whatever you call them) You are using the same gauge and wire for speakers cables and interconnects. The cable absolutely sucked as speaker cables. I am using low powered 45 push pulls for a whopping 3 watts, in theory this gauge cable should work well, it did not. I am being honest, may my dog be hit by a car if I am lying, in this application the cables sounded slow, veiled and muddy. They lacked dynamics, my soundstage was compressed and homogenized. They did not last very long at all. Now as interconnects, they were not bad. They were not great, but they were acceptable for the price you usually sell them for. Not the 861 dollars I paid for them.
CPK is selling power cables in the 500 to 700 dollar range. Based on his posts and literature, I am convinced they are probably pretty good. Since my incident with you, I have taken a step back, but I will try his power cables in the future thats a promise.
I apologize again for stealing this thread, but this guy needs to go away for good.
Follow Ups:
Wow guess what...here is a feedback from a satisfied customer who thought my Super Helix Golds smoked his Analysis Plus Oval 9's without any break in...certainly the Oval 9's aren't nickle and dime cables are they?
Bought SHG speaker cables from Earnest, and upon first hookup, I was shocked!! Dang these sound great! Not even broken in, they smoke my Oval 9's I just switched out. Super transparent & clean, and huge soundstage! Well built also!! AAA+
Positive by Buyer Telescope_trade (450) on 11-19-08
Anyone can go view my feedback on Audiogon and read plenty more testimonials of how good my cables are...that way Rudy or CPK can't say I modified anything.
Rudy face it you are just a customer with a grudge and you need to let it go...everybody but you thinks my cables are spectacular.
The original transaction started when Rudy bought a pair of Au24 speaker cables from me which he claims he never received even though the USPS Delivery Confirmation number claims he received the package.Rudy later demanded a full refund and I would not give it to him because the package was delivered.Rudy sent several crazy emails to me stating he would post on Audiogon and the AudioAsylum to destroy my business if I didn't give him a full refund and I told him to go ahead do what you had to do. After Rudy saw I was firm in my stance he completely changed his approach and asked could he get a partial refund and some of my cables. I accepted his offer because I really didn't want any bad blood with a customer. I sent Rudy $400 and some of my cables... after he got the cables and the money he then began his rant on the cable asylum about how I scammed him.Bottom line is Rudy was mad that I would not give him a full refund...so he did what he had to do to get a $400 partial refund and cables from me...after he received the $400 and cables he reverted back to the crazy rude Rudy and posted here that I scammed him.

The same thing he did for this gentleman....pasted below as well... You can see it is he who made the offer not me....total proof this guy is a scammerRudy,

Look at how this idiot says "I wont work with you, since you filed a dispute with paypal, then he says to make us both happy " I will honor my offer of.......what a dick....
Did you ever move forward with a complaint. The more I think about your situation and the situation I encountered (with all my still unanswered questions), some sort of response to Audiogon is probably warranted. Let me know your thoughts. NMCPS- I don’t dwell on it much but your email caused me to mull it over again.

Show originalShow full headerHello. My comments in ELFs feedback refer to a situation where I bought an
expensive ($500+) Jolida CD player from him and never received it. After
much back and forth with both ELF and USPS, I am still undecided about what
happened.ELF said he shipped it to me but could not provide relevant backup data. He
said he did not keep USPS receipts for long. USPS said the tracking number
provided by ELF was for a very small package- a cable, I believe, which is
what I think he mainly sells- sent around the time of my "scheduled"
delivery to a nearby Mclean, VA address, but not MY address. He said the
package was insured, but that USPS would not pay up on the insurance because
the package WAS in fact delivered, just not my package (which would have
weighed 20 lbs).Since his documentation was fuzzy and the USPS had their documentation
painting a different story, I tentatively concluded that ELF had never
mailed a package TO ME (I have a 90% feeling this). However, there is a
slight chance (10%) that he told the truth and the USPS lost the package.ELF did work out a deal with me involving some cash back and a few sets of
his Gold Helix ICs. These came through OK and the product is good.That is my view on things.
I will keep your situation in confidence and appreciate your discretion on
my viewpoint.Sincerely,

Subject: A transaction with ELF AudioTO:
Hi,
If you would, please keep this confidential, until I find out whats going
on.Hi, My name is Rudolff Zigray. I recently purchased a pair of speaker
cables off of Ernest of Elf Audio. They were not Elf Audio Cables. They
were a 3 meter pair of Audience AU24e speaker cables. I paid 861 dollars
for the cables. Ernest shipped the cables USPS, with out no insurance or
Direct Signature. I never received my item. Nor based on the service
Ernest used, can I verify what address was on the box.Ernest tells me he never had an issue using USPS and this if the first time
anything like this happened. This is why he did not ship with insurance or
direct signature. He refused to refund my money but offered his cables
instead.Now, I am not sure what happened. Ernest seems to be honest. But when I
saw the feedback you left Elf Audio, You state you had an issue in which
something happened to your item, USPS screwed up? and Ernest gave you cables
instead? Was your item something other than Elf Cables?I am a member with oustanding feedback. I really appreciate if you could
please describe your experience with Ernest of Elf Audio. It will help me
in my situation right now. If I can be any help to you in the future,
please do not hesitate to ask. Again, I thank you for your time and
consideration into this matter.Kindest regards
Rudolff
If he had the proof he would have shared it. You now either accept the fact you were ripped off or take legal action. You will accomplish nothing more here.
Losing $861 stings but it is not life changing money. I suspect you can survive it.
FWIW, I would never consider doing business with him. I don't know why anyone would who has followed this thread.

I wonder why the moderator deleted all of our post asking Troll to prove the message was left. His failure to produce was a clear indication that he is a liar. They also deleted his pictures on shady asylum but not here. Is there something I am missing? (besides my 861 dollars of course)
Thanks again
Rudy
I suspect they want you two to communicate privately and keep it off these forums. Someone may have complained or they may just be tired of it. Best for you to ask them.
