Your right.  Very bad form.

It's also bad form to criticize fellow TSers (whether retailers or otherwise) while hiding behind an anonymous alias.  ::)  Grow some cajones.

Not going to speak about any of the specific situations mentioned, but I do have one suggestion, Nick:  consider posting detailed pics of what a "standard" set of cables looks like - one each for straight XLRs, right-angle, stubby, different cabling, whatever.  That way, no one's surprised by their appearance upon arrival.

Followed this thread since you started it.  You've received about 25 plus tix for it.

You got a lot of free time on your hands there Haslehoff.  Perhaps you need to get a life!

I really dont need anyone to speak for me there David.. but I DO want to say I feel more then "supported" here. And yes I have had my issues... But that is water under the bridge. I dont care who gives me a -T... and Nick if I showed you pictures of some of my work when I started out you would laugh your ass off. We all start somewhere. Hang in there.

NICK I have heard nothing but positive comments from the 100's of customers I have sent your way and will continue to send your way.

Your right.  Very bad form.  No offense intended but I am glad I've never purchased cables from you reading the drivel you have posted here.  And posting customer communication?  Really lame.  Followed this thread since you started it.  You've received about 25 plus tix for it.  Why people?  These are the same people who -t'd Church for ranting on here yet Nick get's plus t'd.  The hypocrisy here is amazing at times.  If you wanna charge 100 bucks for cables then ya I expect em to look professional.  Don't really care where, how or by whom made them.  Glad I went with the Hi-Ho's.  And ya sling the -t's folks.  But I figured there needed to be a counterpoint to all the Di#ksucking going on here.




I know, its bad form for a retailer to vent like this.  And i'm sure it will cost me in many ways.

posting transaction details...the only named person is myself.  other than that they are just stories with fictional characters.  names were replaced to protect the innocent.

Internet message boards have a peculiar way of intensifying both negative perceptions, and especially escalating negative participation, to a level that probably most of us would not approach were we having a face to face.  It's always been that way, is a universal phenomenon on every message board in existence, and the internet has been around long enough that by now most of us should realize that.  Obviously some people do a better job of compensating than others.

All in all, although they are prone to the occasional brush fire, I think some level of public airing of transaction disagreements are probably more rather than less beneficial to the overall community.

What is really bad form is sort of the reverse ad hominum argument:

1)  Person A has what they feel to be a legitimate beef with Person B.
2)  Person C thinks Person B is one of God's greatest gifts to the world of taping.
3)  Person C based on their feeling for Person B refuses to acknowledge it is entirely within the realm of possibility that Person B did in fact totally fuck Person A.
4)  Therefore Person C decides that, although they have no real objective knowledege, clearly Person A must be a lying sack of shit.

Then all the many other supporters of Person B also start to pile on.

As far as Nick's cables go, I bought a set over a year ago, just got a second set last week, and I think they are great cables.

I've been a lurker on the board for about 2 years now but I ordered two cables from Nick at the end of February.  I was away last week but when I got home the cables had arrived and I'm more than pleased with them.  Also, when I ordered the cables I over paid Nick without realising it.  Nick brought it to my attention and refunded the overpayment - that's about as honest and up straight anyone can get.  From my experience I'd have no poblem recommending Nick and HYDRA to anyone.

I made some DIY stubby cables w/ built in pads and its not easy making them look good. Working w/ epoxy can be tough no matter how long you been doing it so I think Nicks cables look pretty good and I can respect his skills. I agree w/ Brian and how you should post pics of the finished product and maybe compare a normal RA Neutric cable end to your stubby end w/ a ruler as a reference. Good luck and keep your chin up your doing a fine job.

I've been dyin' to do some pics, but I dont want them to look like I took them in my office w/a shitty camera.  I want them to look pro.  so I've been hunting down the lighting equip and thinking of making a "white box" to do the photo's in.

Hey...if any fellow stars here are photo buffs (and I know we have them) and can do a "product shoot"..., interested in some new mic cables in trade for a few snaps of the shutter ?
I need about 5 pics in total.

I'll take       sounds good/made well   over    looks good/poorly made     any and every day....    meaning, two of the most important factors are the materials used (sonic qualities) and the ability to withstand the rigors of field use (good solder job/constructed properly).    I also like them to be black..
