blubliss Posted April 23, 2008 Report Posted April 23, 2008 the CD3000 uses the same transducer as the R-10? is that right? No idea?? I am embarrassingly ignorant. : \
blubliss Posted April 23, 2008 Report Posted April 23, 2008 Zip ] That would be SinglePower. -Alex- Oh crap, i was afraid you would say that. SP did my balanced pair. It sounds good though. I will ask him if he did that type of wiring to mine. Anything I should ask specifically?
Fitz Posted April 23, 2008 Report Posted April 23, 2008 They took the time to write a 5 page letter, but didn't take 5 minutes to think about the implications if the buyer told his story to everybody? That's just brilliant.
APureSound Posted April 23, 2008 Author Report Posted April 23, 2008 No idea?? I am embarrassingly ignorant. : \ No they don't. Not even close...

I will ask him if he did that type of wiring to mine. Anything I should ask specifically? I guess it is just their method of doing it. Nothing against SinglePower I just figured if you are going to recable them you might as well hardwire them directly to the drivers. I guess they didn't want to do what JenaLabs did...
Smeggy Posted April 23, 2008 Report Posted April 23, 2008 That is just fucking priceless It's nice to see these sheisters exposed for the inept ripoff artists they are. I only hope many more people get to read this and word spreads so they can't screw up any more expensive phones with no liability. Talk about unprofessional.
n_maher Posted April 23, 2008 Report Posted April 23, 2008 Maybe one of the lawyers here can chime in but I don't think that a limit of liability statement would hold up in court against gross negligence. Glad to hear that you were able to rescue them Alex and I can't wait to see what Head-Fi does when the thread gets posted.
Smeggy Posted April 23, 2008 Report Posted April 23, 2008 I hope we get a heads up when it's posted so we can grab it before the fuckers delete it. Oh, and nice work Alex.

I do not think it can be deleted. Such a job is an actual ripoff and he wanted to work it out with them before bringing it out into the public, but they pretty much told him to fuck off. He got hung up on twice and then received an email telling him to no longer call or email them that there will be a letter mailed to him. I will leave the full story to be posted by him from that side. -Alex-
saint.panda Posted April 23, 2008 Report Posted April 23, 2008 That's really messed up. It might be a good idea to digg that upcoming headfi thread rather than digg your page if you want to avoid being associated with it. Then again, could be nice publicity if people are smart enough to differentiate between Jena Labs and APS. The VD garden hose thread certainly got a lot of hits. As for digging an article. You have to be a Digg member, then you can digg any article that you come across such as like this: http://digg.com/gadgets/Messing_up_a_1500_headphone_modding_job_2 Alternatively, as the website owner you can add a Digg link on your website where people can click. I'm not quite sure how that works. Never done it before. But they explain it here: http://digg.com/tools/integrate
deepak Posted April 23, 2008 Report Posted April 23, 2008 I remember the thread warrior05 made about the shitty soldering on his ALO dock. What a fucking scam these tools are running. Great work fixing the botch job Alex.
Fing Posted April 23, 2008 Report Posted April 23, 2008 Superb stuff! Good pics and excellent work Alex - glad you managed to fix it! It's pretty damn shocking that a company that charges so much for their work is so unwilling to stand behind it. They deserve both barrels from their disgruntled customer. I'd certainly be seeking legal advice if I were he.

I'll be waiting for the story to be posted as well. I remember the thread warrior05 made about the shitty soldering on his ALO dock. What a fucking scam these tools are running. Great work fixing the botch job Alex. That was my ALO dock that warrior posted about. Man that was a 13 rounder!
deepak Posted April 23, 2008 Report Posted April 23, 2008 There is only one Headfi'er that posts about how good the Jena Labs R10 is (that I can think of off the top of my head). He also uses a B52...
boomana Posted April 23, 2008 Report Posted April 23, 2008 Read this thread late last night...early morning...and was so shocked I didn't know how to respond. Wanted to go hug my R10s. Alex, I can only echo what others have said: great rescue. That R10 rape needs to be posted front and center on every audio forum. Even if the owner can't get his money back, at least he can help prevent JenaLabs from getting more money.
Voltron Posted April 23, 2008 Report Posted April 23, 2008 I know who to trust with my next recable job -=Germania=-?

APureSound Posted April 23, 2008 Author Report Posted April 23, 2008 http://www.head-fi.org/forums/f21/jenalab-recabled-r10-319613/ Yea looks like someone beat the owner to it. Do expect a post from the owner himself though as he is quite upset about the whole thing. He will fill in the entire side from JenaLabs that I am missing since I didn't directly deal with them I will leave it up to him as to what he wants to say. -Alex-
zippy2001 Posted April 23, 2008 Report Posted April 23, 2008 I'm sending my next pair of 780s to Jenalabs!
boomana Posted April 23, 2008 Report Posted April 23, 2008 The 780s deserve JenaLabs! That would be the right thing to do.
Smeggy Posted April 23, 2008 Report Posted April 23, 2008 The 780s deserve JenaLabs! That would be the right thing to do.
morphsci Posted April 23, 2008 Report Posted April 23, 2008 The 780s deserve JenaLabs! That would be the right thing to do. I listened to the 780's last weekend, even Jena Labs is not enough punishment for those piles of warthog excrement (Can you guess my sons current favorite movie?)
Dusty Chalk Posted April 23, 2008 Report Posted April 23, 2008 Jesus. Nice save there, Alex. I'm definitely sending any recables to you. I mean, I can even tell from your story that that's not the reason you did what you did, you were just presented a challenge that you couldn't ignore. Huzzah and kudos.
