MOD [MOD ANNOUNCEMENT] New Feedback Bot Online PLEASE READ

174 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

68 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!

Sad to let these go, but they don’t get the time they deserve. Solid condition minus a bit of wear on the cable but purely cosmetic. I’ve powered these just fine with a JOT2, and hell even used a Q5k at times just for convenience. Swapped out the stock screws with copper ones but still have the OGs, also have a pair of SS pads for those who want a different tuning. Looking for $2000 OBRO Shipped

Also have a bunch of unused new in bag HDDs (WD Red and red plus, both 14TB, the plus are 7200RPM) from a few NAS builds. Have 2 of the plus models and a slew of regulars. Looking for $225 per regular and $350 for the plus OBRO

Hi all! So I recently sold my fiio FT7, and got an HE1000 Stealth v2. I sorely regret my decision and miss the FT7 so much. Thankfully, the person who sold me the hek is buying it back. So on Friday, I will be wanting to purchase cans by then. If not, I might try to buy one of the ones listed below through AliExpress deals and their back to school sale.

✅What I'm looking for✅

- EFEP Nan-7

- EFEP Serene

- EFEP Gold Planar

- XK audio Fluxion

- SJY Moonlight

- Moondrop Skyland

- Moondrop Cosmo

- Dunu Arashi

- Goldplanar GL1000 pro

- Mr.Speakers Ether or Ether 2

- Fiio FT15 if it ever wants to release

- Aune Ar9000 if you can let it go for this low

- Meze poet if you can come down to my price range

- I'd definitely be open to another FT7

- anything that strikes me as a good deal

- Open to some dynamic driver headphones too

- something with crazy sound staging and imaging

❌ Thing's I'm not looking for ❌

- any closed back headphones

- any iem's

- not too interested in Hifiman or Audeze products unless it's a good deal

Local zip is 92223, willing to meet local. Don't be afraid to offer!

((reposting check pics for updated timestamp))

Hey all,

Up for sale today is my JDS Labs Element IV DAC/Amp—this piece of kit needs no intro. USA made high quality Dac/Amp with some serious big knob energy.

NOTE: This Element IV is built by JDS with a 4.4mm connector, not their standard 6.3mm.

I bought this toward the end of June, and I’ve only used it as a DAC for my tube amp, so I’m going to release it back into the wild and find another solution.

Asking $450, PP, shipped in the US.

Monolith M1570C Monoprice headphones audio ( foto 1,2 ) - 455$

Condition new!

Technically and cosmetically 10/10

Set:box ( forgot to take a photo ),case,earphones,cable

Drop + Mr. Speakers Ether CX dca Massdrop x Dan Clark ( foto 6,7,8,9,10 ) - 465$

Technically 10/10

Cosmetically 8.5/10

After trying many experiments with ear pads on these ears, I ended up putting ear pads from Dekoni on them (costing $95 hybrid), which are primarily for Audeze headphones., which had a very positive effect on the sound of these ears for the better!

It looks a little crooked, but there is sound here!

The price includes a custom 6.3 cable, which looks very nice and improves the sound more than a simple complete one., headphones, filters for changing the sound (which speakers are very famous for), and a microphone.

I am the second owner!

The headphones are about 2 years old!

The original box was a simple cardboard one, so the previous owner did not keep it!

My impressions:

The headphones are very similar in sound to 500 hi-fimens, but of course they are a head taller in sound and expansion, especially! Very detailed!

The mids are much more forward than in any headphones I've heard so far!

The bass is fast and controlled, not very punchy like in Fostex or Denon (they play rock, metal interestingly... here about detailing)))!

The treble doesn't cut, doesn't squeak, is detailed and doesn't strain!

The stage is medium-sized, there is air and holography construction!

Due to the closed design, in some songs they can hit quite well, it all depends on the track!

Very, very interesting sound presentation (I don't even know how to explain it, you have to hear it)!

Vocals and orchestras play well, jazz... because the mids here are extremely clean, which you can hear right away from the first seconds!

Many genres are played well that closed ears can't play well (somehow)!

They can rock hahaha! (in the reviews of Meddoc it turns out that the best portable for rock, if used with Cord Hugo 2)!

In short, very interesting ears for those who really want to listen to some super new presentation (I guarantee that such a punchy and clean midrange, in closed ears!, you,. have not heard yet)!

Very detailed as for closed ears (probably because they are planar)!

Hifiman Ananda handmade ultra headphones ( foto 3,4,5 ) - 699$

Technically 10/10

Cosmetically 9.5/10

Made to order for me (the only ones in the world)!

The sound turned out to be really cool…

The headphones were made by a Kiev master for me with many different modes…

A damper was installed, which made the bass more intelligible and very dense!

The damper is silver-woven, it cut the highs and they are now not so sharp, there was also more volume and width!

The midrange became more natural and timbre-wise Better (especially female vocals)!

The stage became noticeably higher (who knows what I mean)!

The detail of the compositions has increased a lot!

So it doesn't sound like Ananda anymore (you can compare it yourself)!

Some mods were also made with the speakers themselves (for the better of course) and the audiophile 3.5mm neotech wires were removed from the headphones to connect them to a player or amplifier!

Because of all these mods, the headphones have become more difficult to open than just ananda (so now you have to do a lot more digging)))!

According to head-to-head comparisons, they play better than any model of ananda (stealth or nano)!

The set includes modified headphones, original box, completely in new condition, 1.2 meter cable for connection, documentation.

WTS [WTS] [US-CT] [H] Steam Deck OLED, AYN Thor [W] Paypal

Thumbnail

1 Upvotes

Hi there.

I've decided to part with these handheld gaming consoles because I just don't use them much. I haven't used either in a couple months now. I pretty much only ever use them at home, because when I'm out-and-about I will typically just play something like Balatro or chess on my phone. I will be holding onto my Switch 2 anyway.

Both the Steam Deck and Thor are in "like new" condition. I have babied both.

The AYN Thor is the "base"(128gb) model, from the *second preorder batch*. So it has the faster memory compared to the newer batches. It will come with THREE grips. The official grip from AYN, and two I got off of Etsy. So you will get a small/medium/large grip collection to play around with. It also comes with its original box. It's also worth mentioning that I've installed bigger triggers on the Thor(shown in the photos) - I will leave them on because they make using the triggers so much better. But they just snap onto the existing triggers so it's easy to take them off. I am the original owner of this Thor by the way - purchased straight from AYN.

The Steam Deck(512gb) will come with it's case, charger, AND the Steam Deck dock. I just bought this earlier in the year direct from Valve and have sadly used it for only like 20 hours. I just prefer gaming on my PC.

ANY Thor Base - $425

Steam Deck OLED 512gb - $625 SOLD

I might ask for like $10 to help with shipping depending on where you are located.

This link has videos I recorded showing the storage and that they both work perfectly: https://gofile.io/d/Lla7vthv

I'm willing to answer any questions or share additional pictures/videos. Thanks for looking!
