Post Subject: Shelter 90X gone flatPosted by marknoir on: 7/8/2010

Hello Romy and thank you for a fast reply<br /><br />You are absolutely correct, but it's the question of money, which I don't have a lot of. Like we say in Russia - "Bednost ne porok, no bolshoe svinstvo" :-) So when I saw this one for $1000 (new Shelters are severely overpriced these days), I jumped on it. The problem of course is not inherent in 90X design, this cartridge is either defective, or is clogged with dust like yours was. I contacted seller last night ( one day after I bought it) and he refused to take it back and refund the money. So now I have to go thru the whole shpiel of initiating dispute on Audiogon, and let them decide. I had done it once before and won, they were actually quite helpful there. Let's see what happens. At least when I read your post I knew I was not dreaming about this particular defect. Can I use your description of this defect from your postings? Thank you<br />
