I have received the 1st part and should receive the 2nd next week. Update... First, I have to say that without Mr. Alvin's help, I would still waiting for any refunds... Yes, I have received a first small part, and then, after several emails, from me and Mr. Alvin, I received almost the full refund... almost... I cannot understand, only from a person and a company that doesn't earn that name, why on earth, one shouldn't refund the amount agreed. I still have to receive 150€. That much? In fact, how can some one tear apart its name and the company's name for such a small amount?? After all the struggle and "fight" I can only strongly warn against KVS. Please stay away from them. They don't honor the business. After more than 30 years dealing with HiFi companies around here and abroad, it's the 1st time such a thing happened to me. I also have to say that this issue has nothing to do with Denafrips, or its products, only with KVS. Issue is KVS is, or self-styled as a Denafrips distributor.. HT 1 Link to comment
plissken Posted September 19, 2021 Share Posted September 19, 2021 I'll toss on another helpful hint: If the vendor takes American Express, and you have an AMEX card, use it. First off AMEX will extend most warranties by 1 year, second the coverage can vary from $1000 to $10000. I have a business card so it's $10K. If you have a documented problem like the OP you just make the call and AMEX WILL sort it out and most likely >90% in your favor. Link to comment

kvsaudio Posted June 6, 2022 Share Posted June 6, 2022 Hello everybody , answer from KVS audio : We are the ONLY denafrips agent which offers 14 days money back warranty . You can check and ask even vinshineaudio if they offer this . The product was special order (and according the law we have the right to refuse ) we refunded . Needless to say , the whole amount . in fact we are the only one who honors the EU law and issued a refund . We have 30 days to do this , even we did it earlier . We have many many clients and Pedro is the only one complaining . I have to admit I issued smaller refund by mistake. 150 euro are not the thing to ruin our name. Using the opportunity to thank to all our happy customers, and Pedro of course! Link to comment

There are many companies that will not accept American Express credit card payments, presumably because of their significantly higher fees. "Relax, it's only hi-fi.

You are correct. I suspect that another reason they don't is because AMEX goes to bat for their customers, strongly. No electron left behind. Link to comment

Many times for work account, disputes are readily settled when the money is withdrawn. AS Profile Equipment List Say NO to MQA Link to comment
PedroS Posted March 8, 2023 Author Share Posted March 8, 2023 Today I received an email from Kamen (owner of KVS). It was totally unexpected, I must say after such a long time to receive such an email, excusing and explaining all the past issue. Thus, it is easier to understand all the mess generated and the effort they made to become a better company. I don't hold grudges, and if at that time it was important to report the negative side, now it is equally important to say that it seems to me that they are a very different team, focused much more on excellent customer service. Learning from mistakes shows humility and willingness to grow in the right direction. It is quite possible that, in the near future, I may do business with KVS again. JLVenter 1 Link to comment
