    What's the advantage/point of those fanned frets?
  2. Working on it
  3. It's possible that the guy is using them to close a real legitimate sale to a third party, so he gets rid of the system. If that set had the same serial number, it'd be a way to find the real identity of this crook. Since the serial number is very important for some fans, asking about it to the shop it wouldn't be weird at all
  4. My friend has spotted this Stax set at an audio shop in UK http://www.guildfordaudio.co.uk/store/itemdetails.php?category=Turntables&section=Categories&cattitle=Used Items&page=used&recordid=2731 The kit is suspiciously similar to the one in the scam, and the picture from this ad has a date (in the EXIF) from 2016:06:07. Do you think it's possible there's a connection between the shop and the scammer? Amar, if you think it's possible to report this all together to the British authorities, please get in touch. EBay started an incidence but can do nothing for being the deal closed outside their system. Here's a pic where the serial number can be clearly seen. Maybe one of the UK guys can phone to that shop and learn about the kit for sale there.
  5. This is the gas Bill https://drive.google.com/open?id=0B3XeBPb_UFU0Q1JhUXUzZUlCWjJhZE9YejlIcEtmdG51Y2Q0 His Passport The data he provided to confirm his banking info, address, and his and his wife's identities Even his phone number: 0044 7514322529 They had a chat over the phone, the guy was extremely kind and convincing. He must be an artist and has probably stolen a few identities, none of the ones we've shared matches. I wonder if these are members of the same clan stealing audio gear at some show in the US a couple of years ago.
  6. Here's the message the scammer sent to Nando (Fernando) Below I'm attaching the video he made to prove the headphones/amp are working. His voice can be heard. Oops, the .mov format is not allowed. I'll leave a link to Google Drive. First time I'm using it https://drive.google.com/open?id=0B3XeBPb_UFU0WFJESGZ0YUR4ZDN5Q2FnM1ZJMkxhQkJ5MkNB As soon as Nando sends me pics from a gas service receipt he sent to prove his name and address and other pics, I'll be sharing them here.
  7. They're slow and stubborn like zombies.
  8. My friend hasn't been able to stop or reverse the transfer, unfortunately Amar's warning was like a couple of days late :(. Nando (my friend) says the guy sounds British, polite and charming, the perfect set for a pro scammer. As soon as I receive all the data he's grabbed from him, not only pics, also a video where his audio system can be seen, I'll be posting it here. It's going to be reported to the Spanish Police, but they say that for an offense under 3000UKP the British Police will do nothing. Looks like UK has been off the international police affairs as away as has been from the Euro and other european matters. He's looking at UK Police websites to see if there's any chance to involve them into this, and also contacting Ebay, truth is that he tried to close the deal using their check out system, but the scammer's configuration didn't allow it and he trusted to deal directly with him. Maybe he won't get his money back, but it's possible we can stop this weasel to scam more people. We can set up a meeting in the UK then paying a visit to this guy
  9. Oh crap, he just scammed a friend of mine. He sent bank wire payment yesterday, maybe he can stop it yet. They spoke over the phone, and the guy sent to my friend pics, even a video of the set, from his passport and a bank receipt to see that the names, addresses and account number for the payment all matched
  10. Happy Bday!!!
  11. Happy Birthday!!!!
  12. No idea what's HKK but I'm sure you're eating all those 8 courses with their accompanying wines. Wonderful
  13. RIP Funk-man
  14. Some USB devices won't work properly, Mytek DSD192 being an example. But they might work on Thunderbolt.
  15. Happy Bday!!!
  16. I liked the Peter Frampton's. I'll have to check the Chelsea Wolfe one.

  20. That's really beautiful, Al. Congratulations. Color me officially envious
  21. Kerry, you should make a few hundreds of those and organize a group sale
  22. What the fuck is a master tape these days?
  23. Just in case you missed it, it's still available at NPR's First Listen
  24. Easy, just multiply by 8.
