I'm glad you had smooth transactions with the company. JB seems more concerned with his "street cred" than with his actual credibility, and everything he posts is a window into his rampant narcissism.

LOL yet another self-righteous one. We all vote with our wallet. There are those who feel that JB/MSS/whatever's method of advertising is quite tacky, yet it appears that many are drawn to it like flies to ****.
Seems they sell quite a bit as well, based on the volume of Agon feedback.
Seems also that JB/MSS/whatever won't coddle and hold buyers in their lap and rock them like a baby either. They have their terms, use them and buy or move on. No harm, no foul. Vote with YOUR wallet.
Best,
otari :-)

I would not buy from MSS Hifi. So, yes, I vote with my wallet. I find JB's writing, including things he said about his own employees on his website (recently removed, by the way) to be inappropriate of a questionable nature, and reflective of clinical narcissism. Just my opinion; I think it is good that potential buyers know more about the person and company they are dealing with when purchasing from MSS Hifi. Audio forms such as this help provide consumers with more information, which they have to weigh according to their own values, needs, wants, etc.
Your logic seems to be that MSS is okay because there is a lot of questionable crap in the audio realm...not sure I accept this logic, but you, too, are more than entitled to your opinion.
I agree.... match, set, point.
However myself if I want the item, and I strike a deal....I buy it. For all I know the preamp I bought at the audio store on trade could have been previously owned by a serial killer or child rapist. My logic says how can that affect the use of the preamp in my application? It cannot.
This line of thought would negate Mr. JB's ego in it's entirety. I'm as guilty as the next guy in search of "the deal" however I disconnect the deal from the seller, and I buy in person only after seeing/hearing/having a good look at the item in question prior to laying out my dollars. This has worked well for me.... In fact when I sell I attempt ALWAYS to find local buyer(s) to look, hear and see prior to buying something from me. This way there can be no chance of misrepresentation or truth stretching, etc.
Best,
otari :-)

...and it would be best if we could all buy locally, but the world has become shrink-wrapped. In some ways that is good, as we have access to audio products we could never have seen or heard before; in other ways, one has to be much more careful when the face-to-face interaction is not there.
