Try your local ebay merchants. I’ve found it’s a better platofrm for buying stuff than Amazon.

I work for a small business that has a few boutiques and restaurants and the manager loves Amazon… she’d been doing the purchases for the nuts and bolts “maintenance” items for the locations when I needed to repair something - electronics, lighting, construction materials, etc. - but I’ve resorted to sending her links to ebay merchants for the exact things instead, as every defective, counterfeit item that has been purchased which failed in the shops under nornal use, came from Amazon.

Last order she put in was a dozen dimmable Feit 4 watt LED “filament” lightbulbs.

10 out of the 12 could not be unscrewed from the lamp sockets because the cement holding the glass of the lamp to the base failed. Twisted the first one right off before I realized it. I had to use cyanoacrylate glue (Krazy Glue) to get the bulbs out in one piece. Glued all of them once they were removed… (glad that the LED lights do not get hot like incandescent bulbs used to…) When I checked the printing on the bulbs… Yep. Totally counterfeit.

Done with Amazon.

Qobuz is amazing!. I’ve been using it for several months and it’s delightful… also high quality streams and that’s importat for my shitty old ears.

Nice list…
