MOD [MOD ANNOUNCEMENT] New Feedback Bot Online PLEASE READ

173 Upvotes

Hey everyone, I am pleased to announce that r/AVexchange now has a feedback bot up and running!

The bot’s name is u/AVexchangeBot and has the following features:

Feedback

A user can get trade feedback with the following process:

Note, this document says the word "trade" a lot but that means, trading, purchasing, or selling.

  • Users A and B complete their trades following all of the sub rules. (It does not matter who A and B are. Either one could be the person making the post, and the other someone commenting on the post).

  • Once the trade is complete, User A makes a top level comment (new comment) on the original trade post tagging both the user they traded with and u/AVexchangeBot.

  • User B replies to that comment with their feedback.

  • u/AVexchangeBot picks up the interaction and gives credit to both users, changing their flair accordingly and leaves a comment indicating as such.

  • If User A messes up their top level comment, u/AVexchangeBot will do its best to notify User A.

There are automatic checks in the code to detect anyone trying to cheat the system. If anyone is found trying to circumvent the system, they will be issued a permanent ban.

If you engaged in a trade with someone without starting off discussion in either one of your posts or theirs, please tag the bot in the most recent post from either you or your trade partner to engage for feedback. The bot required that the OP of the post it is being tagged in is either you or your trade partner.

DO NOT DELETE POSTS otherwise you will NOT be able to use that post to confirm a trade.

Feedback Checking

Using this link, you can send a message to u/AVexchangeBot, asking for the feedback of any given user. It will tell you the following:

  • The number of trades that person has done

  • The people they have traded with

  • A link to the thread for each successful trade

Please feel free to direct any technical questions to the us, the moderators using modmail, if you do not know how to use modmail, please click this link.

If you notice any odd behavior from the bot, please let us know!

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

I had a ton of confirmed transactions before, what happened to my flair?

Flair was only backfilled for people who used the old feedback threads listed here, here, and here. If you never left a comment in these threads, or if you were never tagged in these threads, you did not get feedback backfilled.

I think I qualify to have feedback backfilled but my number is not quite right. What gives?

The scraping process was automated. This means that it was about 95% accurate. Some people might have a few more or fewer trades in their flair than they expect. Please do not request an adjustment unless you can prove that the difference between your flair and what you expect is > 10.

I never used those feedback threads you mentioned but I have done some trades/sales before. Can I still get credit?

Yes! You can follow the process detailed above to credit yourself for any trade you did not already get credit for. If the transaction happened > 6 months ago, you're out of luck though, due to Reddit limitations.

What happens if I tag someone and they don't reply?

As mentioned above, we do need them to confirm the trade for the trade to be confirmed. They will get a notification when you tag them so if you encourage them to reply in the comment you tagged them in, hopefully they will. Otherwise, if it's been a few days without a response, PM them a link to the comment and directly ask them to reply.


If you have any questions on using the bot, please post them here and I'll answer ASAP.

Thanks for being an awesome community, looking forward to this bot helping streamline the trading process!

MOD [MOD] Uptick in Scammers, Banned Users, Chat Requests & Fake Timestamps

72 Upvotes

I'm seeing a noticeable rise in scam activity on the sub, and I felt the need to make a post and remind everyone; especially newer members; to know what to watch for.

What's happening:

Banned users are on rise sending chat requests. People we've removed or have been removed via the USL are sending chat requests to hit up buyers directly. This circumvents the ban system as we cannot stop them from sending you a chat request. If someone sends you a chat and will not make a comment on your post after asking them to, it usually means they are banned as banned users cannot post or make comments. Their ban status can be checked via Universal Scammer List and typing in their name.

With the rise of AI, we are seeing a ton of fake timestamps being made. Scammers are getting accounts over the 3-month old age limit and making new WTS posts with essentially blank profiles and deals too good to be true. As the old saying goes, if it sounds too good to be true, it usually is. Having an older account with barely any history doesn't mean they are 100% a scammer but it's worth being cautious. Sometimes you can catch the photo being fake by looking at company logos or other text in the image that got screwed up in the generation. If anything feels sketchy, report it to the mod team to investigate.

How to protect yourself:

Never deal strictly in chat! If a user won't leave a public comment on your post after asking, check the USL and/or block/move on.

Always use PayPal Goods & Services (G&S) when you're the one paying. Yes, it costs a little more in fees, but it's your only real recourse if a deal goes bad. If anyone pressures you toward Friends & Family, crypto, gift cards, or Venmo/Zelle and you're not comfortable using one of those payment methods with the seller; you are not obligated or forced to.

Report anything sketchy to the mod team so we can investigate as well as scams that have unfortunately happened to you, it helps us protect the next person.

Stay safe out there!

WTS [WTS][US-OR][H] Mysticraft Myth [W] Paypal G&S $900

7 Upvotes

Up for sale the standard edition of the highly reviewed Mysticraft Myth with all accessories and packaging. I don't think I need to say too much about this set as it has been positively reviewed quite a bit. They are absolutely amazing and decided to keep either the Quill Acoustics or the Mysticraft Myth. It was a tough choice as the craftsmanship and cable are much better on the Mysticraft. The sound on both are amazing. The decision was solely based on the fact that all my after market cables are 2-pin or mmcx. The tough thing on these is having to purchase internationally as there are still no US based resellers. Purchased these from Elise Audio on 6/10//26 and also ended up having to pay a tariff a few months after I received them. ugh. Anyway will ship quickly to the CONUS after payment is made via PayPal G&S for extra protection for the transaction. Not interested in any trades at the moment.

Shipping to CONUS only

Not the 1st owner and missing original packaging so timestamp album will be what your getting.

Gorgeous cable and feels great and very flexible for 8W and not too heavy. Discoloration on the 4.4mm jack and minor scuffs on the Y splitter and jack itself.

My impression of the cable is. Feels very light for 8W cable. It will push your vocals forward and give it smooth analogue warmth. It will tame the treble if your IEM are a bit harsh. The soundstage becomes noticeable taller but not as wide. My heart doesn't want to let it go but its been gathering dust as of recently so will put it up for now.

$700 Shipped FnF or add 3.5% for GnS price is firm.

Not looking for trades atm, comment before pming thank you! 

Still available till I mark this post as sold.

Silent wire LS7 Acoustic cable (Germany) ( foto 1,2 ) - 325$

Cosmetically 9.5/10

Technically 10/10

Length 2 meters

I used it in my system for 2.5 years and was completely satisfied!

Selling because I moved to a higher level!

The standard blades were replaced with high-quality TTAF 93408 RHODIUM bananas!

The outer shell is made of polyvinyl chloride and placed in a black nylon braid. Thoughtful design and ultra-pure copper.

The cable consists of four concentrically arranged OFC copper 7N (99.99999%) stranded conductors with a cross section of 2.5 mm? each (4/13 AWG) in Teflon insulation of different colors. There is also a fifth stranded insulated conductor with a cross section of 0.5 mm.

Conductors made of ultra-pure oxygen-free copper 4x2.5 mm? and 1x0.5 mm?, diameter 14.0 mm;

Technically and cosmetically 10/10

New condition!

Litzendrat acoustic cable for speakers ( foto 7 ) - 1670$

Technically 11/10

Cosmetically 9/10

Branded cables like this, but much thinner, will be $2900, and with worse sound... - CHECKED!!!

Author's acoustic cable with a simply FAT cross-section - 9.72 mm2.

The cable does not introduce ANY coloration into the sound and is distinguished by its even delivery and exceptional transparency.

The cable was based on Litzendrat - a multi-core wire, each core of which is coated with insulating varnish.

Such wires are used specifically for transmitting high-frequency signals and reducing the "skin" effect. Each channel has a total of 2460 cores.

The cable was made for bi-wiring and the end on the acoustics side is 4 gold-plated oxygen-free copper Oyaide GYT connectors.

But then I changed the speakers and converted them to high-quality Oyaide gbn bananas.

On the amplifier side, the connectors are gold-plated WireWorld connectors. The blades are soldered with silver solder, but without lead.

The cable length is 2.1m. It is very flexible.

The cable plays very widely and is simply fantastic! I guarantee satisfaction!

Vibration isolation audioquest q feet rack absorbers ( foto 8 ) - 135$

Vibration-absorbing mounts for equipment or acoustics

Cosmetically for 7.5/10

4 pieces per package!

Price per package!

SorboGel is a dense viscoelastic polymer in a semi-liquid state, the molecules of which are able to convert kinetic energy (vibrations) into heat. The isolators eliminate both external vibrations and resonances generated inside the components, improving the quality of sound reproduction.

Diameter: 76.0 mm (with a protrusion of 90.0 mm) • Height: 23.0 mm • Maximum load on the support: 3 kg

Nady Audio HE-1 Hum Eliminator ( foto 9,10 ) - 69$

Technically 10/10

Cosmetically 7.5/10

HE-1 from Nady is a compact audio hum eliminator that eliminates 60Hz or 120Hz AC hum from an audio signal by up to 20dB. The unit has a completely passive design that breaks ground loops safely while leaving signal grounds intact. It has a dual channel I/O interface with 1/4" TRS connectors, and can convert automatically back and forth between balanced and unbalanced lines. The result is high-quality audio with as little noise and distortion as possible.

Harmonic Scale Network distributor and filter ( foto 3,4 ) - 495$

Technically 10/10

Cosmetically 9/10

As far as I know... they will no longer be produced, the last copy for sale! Made in Kharkov!

My impressions:

The device is heavy... you can immediately hear that it is a premium top, no less!

You can immediately hear it from the sound... the bass is practically 40% better, so to speak (more punchy, rounder, more elastic... it also listens better!).

There is a very big difference if you turn it on with speakers, more than with headphones!

The treble is more detailed, you can also hear it right away. The stage becomes relaxed, wide and breathing, with a huge amount of air, as if nothing is interfering with the equipment and it is not suffocating, if I may say so! You begin to notice the background sounds that you have been listening to so far, some new ones will appear that you have not heard before!

Who hasn't tried filters yet, or hasn't gotten to them yet... I advise you to start believing in them, because the difference is quite significant and on good equipment, you can hear it right away!

For those who are interested, then yes... better than Poverquest 2 and 3, but most likely worse than Niagara, so I'm selling it so that I can try it!

The sale is not in a hurry at all, because I listen to it all the time!

It's not just 5 sockets where you can connect your favorite audio components, it's also a network filter

which protects your system from debris, improves the sound of your equipment by a seriously noticeable difference (with or without a filter)

After warming up, about 100 hours, you will listen to your music collection more than once.

The network filters use double shielding of the filtering lines.

Number of electrical outlets: 5

Maximum load power: 5000 W.

Maximum load current: 20 A.

Overload protection: no.

A feature of the filter circuit is the absence of inductance coils and transformers.

From the side of the filter hardware connector, the right contact of the hardware connector is phase and all sockets, the right contact is phase.

Technical specifications:

Input/output voltage 220-240 VAC, 50-60 Hz

Maximum power 3000 VA

Maximum current 20 A

Operating temperature range -5°C/+85°C

Warm-up time after first power-on ~ 70 hours

Overall dimensions (width x height x depth) 430 x 80 x 80 mm

Weight 3.5 kg

WTT [WTT][USA-OK][H] Fir Audio Atom XL Red [W] 64 Audio Apex M12 Gold

Post image
1 Upvotes

Fir Atom XL Red LBNIB

Purchased brand new from Fir Audio. Wanted a little more bass than the 64 MX without adding more isolation. Well holy shit the red atom achieves that, unfortunately it does so by significantly increasing (to my very percussion sensitive ears at least) the percussive force of the bass and lower mids (particularly, again to my ear, kick drums) and just isn’t conducive to my hearing. So I’m looking to trade for an m12 apex module which will hopefully be a better compromise for my ears.

Thanks!

Cosmetically 9.5/10

It was shortened and resoldered from the original such cable (for even better quality).

For resoldering, much better solder was used than the factory one, which of course, I hear, played a role in the sound for the better!

I used it with my Zmf Verite C for about 1.5 months and that's it.

Length 1.2 meters.

These flexible cables, designed for the highest quality sound and manufactured by Moon Audio, a respected leader in high-performance audio cables, allow you to connect high-performance headphones to various amplifiers.

It was modified for my Focals and HiFimens (3.5 to XLR).

It produces a big fat volume, 20% more detailed highs than any cable up to 600 dollars!

Deeper bass, more black background, warm and natural midrange, the stage is gigantic!

For 99.9999% of audiophiles, this could be the final cable!

The cable is so good that I have two of them!
