Digital Audio Denmark convertors

Let's also recognize that Vincent's first post...

I have one here in Las Vegas and I can say without hesitation that it is by far the best converter on the market and I have compared it to many highend audiophile players such as the Playback designs & the Berkeley. They don't come close, and best of all, it is cheaper than both of these.

.....failed to disclose that he is/was a dealer/distributor for the product he touts.....and his perspective was put in the strongest terms possible.

I am not one to slam any one's product, especially on a public forum, as I feel this is not appropriate to do. There are many products that are not to my liking, and I will never, talk about them in a public forum either.

hummmmmmm. except this time? but if we want more negative stuff we can call ya?

normally Audiofeil would be on Vincent's case big time by now.

i don't know Vincent and he very well may be sincere and credible.....in fact i assume that he is. but disclosure of a commercial interest is expected. others certainly get slammed for that sort of ommision.

Agreed Mike, anyone with a commercial affiliation with any product they are touting as "best ever" or better than another should disclose as such....

Yeah, where is Audiofeil? He's usually pretty quick on these...

When I first became a member of this forum some years ago, I had nothing to do with the audio industry, so I did not think about changing my status, (if there is such a thing here) having industry affiliation. But me mentioning the DAD really had nothing to do with trying to sell or promote, as that was not my intention. I was just answering someones post, and did not think of it as being a conflict of interest. For this, please allow me to apologize. This will not ever happen again, so my question to anyone here is, how do I change my status in Audiogon to industry affiliation like you can do at the Asylum.

Vincent, I don't believe there is anything you can change to reflect industry status like you can at that other site. I believe the best course of action is to identify yourself as having a commercial interest in any product at the time you post about it. You identified yourself as VRS Audio in your first post, but not as a dealer of the product you mentioned, I'm certain that was simple oversight on your part. Such disclosure allows those reading to filter praise for products as they see fit when it is a dealer giving out the praise.

Vincent;

thank you for taking my communications in the spirit with which it was offered....i meant no personal offense.

unfortunately; AudiogoN is a commercial site which has decided to avoid identifing Industry affiliation. therefore it is left to the community to self police this issue. we do have a few here who do act as 'ethics police' regularly; others occasionally.

there are many industry people who do post on AudiogoN and most do respect the issue of disclosure. i would add that these 'Industry People' have much to offer in terms of information.....but must tread lightly when commenting on products they sell.
