You know, it's incredible how upset the audiophile faithful get when you tell them that a lot of what they hear is down to biased perceptions, more so when you start posting links from articles at Audioholics or other places to back up your opinion and the only thing they can say is, "I hear it so it must be true" or variations on that theme.
It's even more frustrating when the admins of some sites are also believers and it affects the way they moderate.
I'm now on the bad side of HTGuide.com - the admins there seem to think I'm the anti-christ out to cause havoc and chaos wherever I go by telling everyone they are "deluded".
Which of course I'm not and I haven't.
I've now told the admins there to ban or delete my account - basically it was only a matter of time anyway and even if they didn't I certainly did not want to contribute to a forum that gags my views.
The reason I'm posting this is that I thought the skeptical masses here might want to have a laugh and read two threads I've been involved in over there - it gets really funny towards the end of those threads when the admins start to get really pissed - and I think they get more upset because I remain polite.
Hopefully, they don't remove those threads before people here have had some fun - or even contribute?
HTGuide.com is owned by a snake oil cable company btw and they explicitly disallow cable criticisms. Surprisingly, I and others have managed to make some remarks without any deletions.
The threads can seen here (I'm Ade in these threads btw);
Do amplifiers sound different and
Speakers make a difference, beware of the snake oil
Have fun.
