If referring to me, be more direct! My post was to warn other people. Perhaps I should just let others throw their money into a hole! I can talk audio with Audio Research and Esoteric gear.
Difficulty with SoundStageDirect
First, I find Seth to have always been friendly and very helpful. However, I have observed companies having serious financial issues in the past and I have to believe that they may also be having significant difficulties. I ordered a VPI Avenger mid-May. I have been sending a multitude of inquiries to Soundstage with absolutely no response regarding my turntable order. Hence, I sent VPI an e-mail questioning why it is taking them over two months to fill my order (via Soundstage Direct) for the Avenger turntable. I was advised by VPI that they did not receive this order and that there are a multitude of other customers on the same boat...obviously sinking. I believe I paid cash so I do not have PayPal to fall on for a dispute. I do have some other options but won’t discuss. I recommend that you should avoid purchasing equipment from Soundstage unless you can physically be there to pick it up. They appear to be in serious financial difficulty. I hope I am wrong but I don’t think I am.

OK, sorry jimmy. Your intention was honorable, but your answer above was a bit gruff... Those who focus on “cash” are a bit misguided. If I paid in rubies and diamonds what is the difference? I may still be screwed. And you might be living in the dark ages as you don’t need to live next door to pay cash!!! Your comments at "Steve Hoffman" were very informative with no hostility toward the members. I'm still reeling from your thread attacking the fine members of this website... https://forum.audiogon.com/discussions/thank-you-for-being-such-a-closed-snobbish-group-of-people This thread was removed at the request by several members. After reading your comments at Steve Hoffman I now know your anger is justified and is directed at SSD. |
I’ve also had issues with SSD in the past... last September I ordered a VPI Prime Signature from them paid on full, luckily on my AMEX, then It was radio silence for about 6-7 weeks. After that period I kept calling every single day till I got an answer. It was one story after another and finally after two and a half months, mid November I told them to just credit my card and cancel the order and if they did not do so immediately I would be contacting AMEX. Two days later I received a call saying my table had finally come in and if I was still interested they would sell it to me at a discount. I told them no thank you and have not done business with them since |
