About users with hidden agendas

@thyname the mayhem they create is their hobby, not audio. The next time they’re in the throughs of yet another manufactured outrage, ask to see a picture of their system and you discover their drama is nothing more than a smoke screen to obscure the fact they have a poor system. They also tend to be jealous and covetous. It’s always the same pattern, essentially psychological and personality disorders on full display.

I try @mapman, I try.

 

 

@jerryg123 perhaps but I’ve been doing this for 30 years. In fact, since the days of rec audio high end. Nothing has changed, all the same arguments and ideological lines then as now. People look for deeper meaning, but it always boils down to exactly what I just said. It’s been exactly this way for three consecutive decades. After a while, you just cut to the chase. You can’t fix a problem with flowery prose that have nothing to do with the actual mechanics of the problem.

@jerryg123 Having a good system, or having a “poor” system is not necessarily about how much money you’ve spent. There are plenty of amazing sounding systems out there in the $20-$30,000 range that beat systems in the hundred thousand dollar plus range. This is down to set up, something you can quickly ascertain by looking at a photo. I stand by my claim, much of the faux outrage is rooted in insecurity jealousy and covetous. Also, my observation has nothing to do with projecting success, or looking down on others. My observation is from the observation of an audiophile and it is directed to other audiophiles, we are presumably here to discuss stereo, not social justice issues or personal insecurities.

more often than not, from my experience, it’s the same people who cry wolf and shout loudly ROOM!!! and gear does not matter, who have crappie general purpose “rooms” with a small minority having some panels here and there thrown in haphazardly where wife allows with no rhyme or reason. Not always so, but the majority of these folks.

You are not wrong, but your accurate summation is incomplete. They also tend to have poorly set up stereos comprised of mediocre gear while ignoring everything else that makes a great stereo sound great.

I see nothing in common aside from the similarities between a 1967 Volkswagen bug, and a 2022 Ferrari F8 Tributo, both have four wheels and internal combustion.

Where have I disparaged you? I’d like to see it. Now if I said your system reminds me of something we might see in a film like The Silence Of The Lambs, or if I pointed out the fact that your days seem to be filled with posting on these boards nonstop while attacking others, often times in all capital letters, with a posting style that seems unhinged and angry, would that be disparaging you? Or am I simply making a factual observation?

Cancel culture is the 21st centuries book burning. While users posting with hidden agendas are clear to see, they’re the ones posting behind assumed names attacking any post, topic, or comment making a subjective observation absent measurements. These people are also in the minority, as most audiophiles understand audio, and in particular audio performance, is ultimately a subjective phenomenon; a point I’ve proven with the numerous discussions I’ve started here, most of which suffered a 21st Century Book Burning when they disappear through no action of mine. So why am I not surprised to read, the same actors projecting their malfeasance, are also working to have comments and threads taken down that expose their hypocrisy and fallacies.

Ted wanted to cover his tracks, and as thread OP he got to decide if they were permanently deleted.

How do we take down a thread once it’s already started? Constant redirection and misinformation, that is the status quo for users with a (not so) hidden agenda.

To my knowledge it is impossible for any AudiogoN user except a moderator or an administrator, to nuke a thread. As usual, the usual suspects do not know what they’re talking about.

There is no way that I can detect on my iPhone to shut down any threads I’ve started.

It cannot be done. Once you start a thread and people respond, it is enshrined until AudiogoN says otherwise. But please, show us how it’s done. Take some screenshots showing how you delete a thread with multiple responses. Post them here.

No option to delete threads. The same people dog piling in this discussion, are the users with hidden identities and not so hidden agendas. High End audio is all about the subjective enjoyment of our systems, that’s what this hobbies is about for most of us. But for the objectivist mob, High End Audio is about mocking and ridiculing real audiophiles, anyone who has spent any time here understands what I’m talking about. And we can see the bad actors here plain as day.

I will be posting screenshots of emails of my threads being taken down by AudiogoN mods so yet again, the objectivist mob is wrong.

AudiogoN deleating threads (click link) as users with a not so hidden agenda continue their campaign of disinformation and deflection.

@mitch2 while I appreciate your kind tone, you’re one of the ones that tends to attack unless a simplistic numerical answer is given to a complex subjective observation. The purpose of my threads was to get people to think, as well as establish a consensus which I have done, most people agree it’s what our stereos sound like, and not the measurements, that matter most. At no time was I pushing my products, but rather, making it obvious the fallacies inherent in the objectivist approach. As for the lies about me taking down my threads, this is false as I have proven with the links above.

It’s a good thing I took screenshots. Lots of screenshots.

 

Waiting for your oft talked about (by you) screenshots that I supposedly don’t want people to see and that I somehow coerced AG into deleting (and that you have access to, yea right, but never produce.) In the meantime…

 

 

And there we have it, the hidden agenda, not so hidden now, is out in the open. Me, the lead designer of Synergistic Research, started a series of threads speaking under my own name and title asking, what is audio really all about? Is it about the numbers? Is it about graphs? Or is it about enjoying our stereos? This made certain people uncomfortable, angry even. They begin acting out, some were even rude to me and others so I called them on their BS and they started this retaliatory thread and dog piled in. Their behavior patterns are always repeated, and are clear to see in this thread and others.

Bottom line guys, ultimately Audio is Subjective.

Oh, so that’s what this is about.

 

 

Again, I now see exactly what this is, and where the sock puppets are coming from. We’re still up for the challenge 😉

@tsushima1 uiu are making a totally false, defamatory and actionable claim against me personally.

AudiogoN this personal and false attack is against your Terms of Service Agreement. 

@oldhvymec I like the cut of your sails. My reason for contributing here is one, I may be a manufacturer, but I’m also an audiophile, this is also my hobby, it’s what I love to do, and I like enjoying it and having discussions with other men and women who love Audio as I do. My discussion questions have been to get people to think, to not over complicate things and realize, at the end of the day it’s all about enjoying music on our exquisite stereos. The constant pushback from som against not only me, but all sincere audio lovers anytime they share an experience not in line with this mob makes sense now that we know who the sock puppet gang is. I have always been careful never to promote my brand, but to assert my knowledge gained over 30 years, to help other audiophiles get better sound, as well as to have discussions along the way with other points of view. But what we’re seeing here is not a point of view, it’s an agenda, it’s fanaticism, and it’s toxic.

Thank you @jjss49. I do love this hobby, and I don’t like not being able talk about it, or exchange ideas with my fellow audiophiles. It’s fine if some do not agree with us but the way a few choose to express themselves leaves much to be desired.

None of my responses have been rude or without warrant. I am not however someone who will be nice to anyone pinching one off on me simply because I’m a manufacturer. The bottom line, my audio viewpoints are aligned with the vast majority of people on this forum. Audio is largely subjective, if people don’t like this fact it’s on them. And if they continue to abuse the majority of participants here on this forum, because we like sharing our experiences which are overwhelmingly subjective, many will push back.
