Forums and Manufacturers: Are they here to help?


I have read several forums where questions have been asked about equipment to the audio community and in a few cases, the manufacturer jumps on the thread in what appears to be damage control. I understand that in some instances the problem may be setup issues, interconnects, ect., but are they really here to help or to raise doubt about what is being said by the consumers?

The answer to your question is the same as the answer to almost every other question posed here, "It depends."

Many manufacturers and dealers who answer are genuinely concerned with helping people, regardless of whether that means selling their own products or not. Some, on the other hand, are relentless self-promoters and sneaky, besides.

It's just like all the rest of life, the one most important skill you can develop is to recognize bullshit when you hear it.
