I do have a life, ha, and have been following this thread between tasks. I sent you a PM because I wanted to avoid a public airing, didn't know it was locked. You seem to cast aspersion and accusations with ease. I dub you Vendetta Man!

Here is Taiko's opportunity to make this right by everyone who wants a full refund. Let's see if they take it.
...his issue doesn't seem to be with Emile. He mentions Fred. This doesn't read (to me) like the smoking gun you assert it is re: refunds withheld, IMO. Seems like something is missing here.
 
Just to point that I hope moderators do their job, but that threads are not locked in WBF. This happened before and although I am happy with moderation I consider locking threads a form of censorship, preventing further debate and opinion.

So not being able to get updates from Emile, no ETA on his unit, and excuse after excuse from the factory is Fred's fault. Then he gets fed up with Taiko and demands his money back from Fred but this is still all Fred's fault. Got it. Thanks.

And there you go - the Takio Extremist Fan Boi's go for calling for violence (didn't see you call that out) to demanding they get banned to now claiming it's all a vendetta. So typical and predictive a game plan to divert from the issues at hand.
 
Yes- let's be accurate. Lesson 4: Don't believe (literally) everything you read on forums. "We've already had one Taiko supporter become completely unhinged and resort to threatening violence" This Is Too Precious!! It did give me a good laugh. If you were referring to my "tongue in cheek" 9mm reference, you got to be joking! This would be NONLITERAL LANGUAGE; FIGUREATIVE OR SYMBOLIC VERBIAGE. There are a number of things that have the potential of making me unhinged, this isn't one. Your perpetual axe grinding and mean spirited agenda has the potential. That was a Bluetooth hiccup with the BMS APP that @nenon Vassil got sorted out in 5 minutes. Obviously my attempt at humor failed miserably (with you) and flew by...

Maybe reshape all of your animosity (which must to take a lot of effort) into something more constructive. I sincerely wish you well Sir...
I have NO idea what you are talking about. I haven't even seen any of your posts.

Is it a guilty conscious that you think I was? Thanks for wishing me the best but you are responding to a post that wasn't even about you but you're acting like it was.

Kinda makes you looks your post look silly in hindsight, no?
 
I just assumed. Guilty As Charged! Purging all my sins...Carry on...Your on a roll...

Talk about get a life, you are one troubled dude, the more you post the more obvious it becomes. I know you are trying to build a youtube audio biz but your strident bedside manner might prove to be an impediment. BTW, maybe I missed something but I visited your FB page and saw no reference to Emile begging anything. Complaining about business practice is one thing but making false claims is another. Loose cannon alert!

And now the Fanboy-extremus is adding "false claims" and "loose cannon" to people who are not active Taiko shills. Nice.

Trying to build a YT audio biz? LOL. My oh my how you don't have clue.

Wait - so you assume because there is not a picture of something on FB for the one minute you went there it means it must not have happened or wasn't said - oh and BTW said to other people as well? Oh boy....that's funny.....
 
Interesting.

You have a customer who has been waiting for his unit since last year who was very specific about the fire and how it melted the boards, what you said how it impacted business, supposedly begged him not to tell anyone, and were very detailed about what you said next steps were going to be in regards to the fire that damaged units including his and how it supposedly extended the delay.

BTW he already owns so much of your stuff not sure why he would claim you said that if not true.

I will inquiry with him again and let him know you are saying none of that ever happened.

ETA: If he retracts his very detailed claim I will of course report that here.

I can assure you that neither I nor any of my staff ever told that to anyone, nor have I ever even heard of any fire damage to a unit. I’m quite sure I would have if it had happened.

Here is Taiko's opportunity to make this right by everyone who wants a full refund. Let's see if they take it.

You may have missed this part of my reply:

“Refunds are handled entirely by our dealers, and policies can vary. Cancellations happen for all sorts of reasons such as health, finances or simply a change of heart.”

I normally don’t comment on client matters publicly, but as my name’s been mentioned, here are the simple facts.

The deal was final and included a trade-in, which has since been sold. The unit is complete, QC’d, and already shipped last week to Dangerous Goods. It’s too late at this point for cancellations. I’ve kept my promises, pushed the order forward, and it’s now just days from delivery.
 
Then he gets fed up with Taiko and demands his money back from Fred but this is still all Fred's fault. Got it. Thanks.
...daahrling, what are you putting on your breakfast cereal these days? I love your thread with the pics, tubes/tube testers, etc. and usually give you a thumbs up. Always cool pics.

But this seems like something has gotten your audio goat. I never said anything was Fred's fault. I merely identified the fact that the FB person mentioned Fred, not Emile.

I am constantly reminded why I don't do FB. What a hot mess.

There are things not to love about the long wait times for the Olympus. I myself waited nearly a year, as noted previously. And that has been explained. I still didn't like it, but there are many things I don't like.

If a lot if people wanted money back and were denied, we would have heard about it, I am certain. One guy sez it's so...I wanna see what's in the trunk. Something seems amiss.

Edit: and now we see the detail: there was a trade which was later sold. How would one unwind that deal? Again: slow delivery is irritating, and that guy was pissed off. Asserting there is some sort of plot, is different.
 
At your urging I went to your FB page and only saw reference to Allesandro being disgruntled about Julien taking a day off. I'm not questioning Allesandro's frustration but you have specifically made a serious claim regarding Emile's integrity that is so far unsubstantiated and carries potential harm. If it proves to be unwarranted, given its nature, it is worthy of a lifetime ban at WBF and having to curtail your listening sessions to 20 minutes a day for one year. I wish you a deep spiritual, life changing experience, Michael...
 
yikes. just wanted to hear how the wadax compares to the cascade (the olympus is incredible btw)

Your underwear is too tight...no one's integrity has been questioned.

Fact: customers have been waiting 1.5 years for gear;
Fact: customers are trying to unsuccessfully get their money back;
Fact: They've been unable to get any updates on status
Fact: the Taiko Extremists are pissed people aren't drinking the cool aid.

Do you hold a rank in the shill army? I think you do.

Totally agree. It would be nice if a few folks here took some sedatives, put away their axes and grinders, and then read the subject line of this thread.

Hey Markus, thanks for the reset. Kinda needed that.

FYI - He also has shared pics dealing with Julian at Taiko and unable to get answers.

You are right: here is my audio issue: The shills. The hateful, intolerant, nasty and miserable life need-to-shut-down-anyone-who's-not-drinking that particular companies kool aid shills.

So it's not about Taiko per se, but the insanity- even to them calling for violence against Cesar - that the shills go to. It's the same with the cable deniers - they are all of that same mentally: "differing opinions must be destroyed!". We saw the same thing with the Dartzeel fools.

THAT is the issue that gets me riled up. And I fully embrace it and apologize if I got caught up in it.

But to claim that questioning paying in advance for gear that is 1.5 years out with no ETA of delivery, or refusing to let you cancel when there is no end in sight, or any of the the other issues raised are someone invalid or have no right to be discussed is audio-insanity at its maximum.

Taiko came on and addressed the issues as is their right. And people have a right to raise issue.

I appreciate you helping me to take a step back for getting sucked into the moronic-mass of the audio forum shills. To all the normal people on the forum I admit I got sucked in and apologize for that. My disdain for the conversations-killing shills still stands though. :)

As an FYI the screen shot was mine and the reason was simply to show the customer that I did indeed reach out but would have to wait a business day for an answer because Julien was out.

This was NOT a customer communication and I do not understand the anger towards Julien for having a witty away message...
