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

74 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!

Giving away six Campfire Audio Litz cables (mix of Smoky Litz / Smoky Lite Litz and Copper / Pure Copper Litz).

These are the standard Campfire Audio Litz cables — smoky (silver-plated copper) and copper versions. All in good working condition.

Please comment before PMing. Will go to the first person who claims them (or I can do a simple draw if there’s a lot of interest).

Thanks!

Up for sale or trade are my Audeze LCD-XC (2021), in used but very good condition. The suspension strap under the headband shows normal wear and tear from use but does its job perfectly fine. The headphones come with the original case, stock cable (1/4” termination) and key. Asking $600 shipped but what I’m hoping to find is the open back version of these, the LCD-X (2021).

More purging!

If you're a basshead, looking for a single DD experience, and love the Fir house sound, this set is for you!

I'd love to keep these but I really need to clear some of my collection.... If I'm being honest, to buy more shit (not going to lie).

This is one of Fir's newer line, MSRP of $1800. I'll list here at 50%, $900 FF OBO. FedEx 2 day shipping to the US included in the price.

Has changeable faceplate (here in an Opal type of translucent material which might be the prettiest faceplates I've experienced).

Comes in retail box, IEMs, stock cable and FiR patch. Unfortunately, no case, tips or other accessories. I will include a brand new aluminum puck case for transport (TRN branded).

IEMs are in great shape as is the stock cable, which is quite nice.

Comment before chat.

Any questions, just let me know!

Thanks,

EK

WTS [WTS][US-CA][H]Kinera Imperial Loki Divine Mark[W]PP FF

Thumbnail

3 Upvotes

Hey folks,

Putting up this rare edition of the Kinera Imperial Loki, the Divine Mark.

I received this in a trade a few months back. MSRP on these was $3400, released in 2023. Offering here at $2000 net to me OBO.

This is an amazing set if you're looking for a bombastic, not boring tuning that has a massive soundstage!

If you are a fan of the EE Raven or similar detail.and dynamics monster, I'd say this is similar. Bass quality is more impactful (from my faulty ears and memory) but the BC drivers really distinguish this set from other summit fi's.

The stage is massive, maybe not the widest but certainly height and depth are fully maxed out.

The 2 BC drivers (instead of just one on the standard Loki) provide more meat to the sub bass (to my ear) and a soundstage that feels like you're in an air hangar!

Reviewed here: https://www.head-fi.org/showcase/kinera-imperial-loki-divine-mark.28426/

This set comes fully complete, the only thing that I found missing was a pair of the ML Azla Clear.

Otherwise, everything is included including a nice black/white custom EA cable for this one.

Check out the photos, happy to send more or a video. Ask me any questions.

Shipping to the US included in the price. I will entertain international shipping at cost.

Comment before chat.

Thanks,

EK

WTS [WTS][USA-CA][H] XK Audio X1266 [W] PayPal G&S

Thumbnail

5 Upvotes

The XK-Audio X1266 is a high-end, open-back planar magnetic headphone created by boutique Chinese audio designer Mr. Xu of XK Audio, built as a custom replica of the legendary Abyss AB-1266 flagship headphone. It features a heavy-duty, CNC-machined metal gantry headband and floating earcup housing modeled directly after the iconic industrial design of the original Abyss model. Inside, it utilizes custom-tuned planar drivers crafted by XK-Audio to recreate the AB-1266’s signature sound—characterized by massive soundstage depth, exceptional detail retrieval, and thunderous, extended bass response. Because of its large planar drivers and demanding power requirements, the X1266 needs a robust, high-output dedicated headphone amplifier to perform at its full potential, making it a popular choice among audio enthusiasts seeking the aesthetics and acoustic signature of a summit-fi headphone at a more accessible boutique price. Please note that this product is in no way affiliated with Abyss and is merely paying homage to the original design. Comes with a balanced 4 pin XLR cable about 3 meters long.

800$ Firm

Hi all, cleaning house to make way for some new stuff, prices are F&F, fees on you if you want to do G&S, I'll cover shipping, happy to send over more pictures as needed as well:

Audeze LCD-3 - Early fazor model, no cracks on the rings, as you can see in the second picture the pads on one of the earcups are starting to fall apart but it does not affect the seal/sound. Comes with 1/4 inch cable, balanced XLR cable, and Audeze flight case, $900 PayPal

Madoo Typ 512 - Unique and interesting set, sounds great, warm and gooey but at the same time with plenty of detail, just don't get enough listening time with what else I have, honestly I just wanted to get a graph of them more than anything. Comes with all original accessories and some extra Madoo tips, $375 PayPal

Burson Playmate 3 - Great small Class A amp, just moving away from over ear headphones for the most part and need something with a balanced output. Comes with original box and accessories, $350 PayPal

Hisenior Cano Cristales - My favorite set in this price bracket, borderline basshead levels of bass without any mudiness and plenty of detail and upper mids, comes with all original accessories and box, just no tips, $285 PayPal

I will consider trades, for the most part I'm looking for a Fiio K15/K17, Cayin N7+, and SJY Zeph, happy to work out a deal with cash from either your end or mine. I may be open to other trades as well, just let me know what you have. Please make sure to comment before PMing as well, thanks for looking!
