Dealers hijacking the discussions


I’m a very long term member and look at the forums most every day. I’m personally extremely irritated by dealers injecting sales pitches into the discussions which has never really been a problem before. Dealers are biased as it’s the nature of business and this is fine but I don’t go to audiogon to see shameless promotion. There’s one guy in particular that needs to go away. The fact that you’ll all know who it is says volumes about the amount of posting this guy/dealer does on audiogon. Does anyone feel as I do. Just curious.

As per Bo not even close. I have read his posts, I do talk about my products in a positive mannor, I also do mention they are a flavor and are very good products. All of my brands are major ones that have major industry accolades, wether or not you find brand x amp to be better than brand y is your taste and setup and matching components. 

When many major reviewers all say the same thing and you are constantly bashing that brand guess what you sound like Bo which is not credibile.

I have said that Wilson, Magico, Rockports Focals etc are all great product that have their sound. Personally I find Magicos boring, and Rockports to be more to my liking, but that is me. I have heard my share of bad Wilson setups as well as a few good ones, I have also heard YG sound mediocre as well as sounding great. 

If you read my posts I have stated that in certain ways some of my products are really good and may be better in certain areas, and may challange brand y which I am sure why some people are hurt they want to believe that their sacred product is better than all others. 

I have said time and time again, these products are tools and so can be moved in and out no big deal. If I find a better tool I move to that one it seems that certain people are threatend by a conversation.


1-Frankly, the issue with Audiotroy's posts are not his initial posts; it's the pissing contests that result when gpgr4blu decides to weigh in. If gpgr4blu would take a flyer, I guarantee Audiotroy wouldn't post ad infinitum defending his position. If Audiotroy were an exotic car dealer and could help potential consumers know the differences between say Porshes, Ferraris and Bugattis, he would be accepted as an asset to that group. In my view, he fills the same role here.
2-Unfortunately, due to the antagonistic nature of the dialogue, I need to be in the frame of mind to wade through the smoke to see the kernels of knowledge there. If these threads were moderated, a good moderator might defuse these multiple post wastes of space and only allow what is germane to the thread. 
3-The only thing I've learned from gpgr4blu is that he dislikes Audiotroy and some of the staff at Sound By Singer.  I'd wager he knows quite a bit about audio and I would welcome his spreading that information here vs his ad hominem attacks. 
Thank you Ethiessen you are correct sir! 

Oh and for hijacking a thread Grgr4blu is doing that very thing on another post on Paradigms by chiming in to attack me and not adding anything,

It works both ways.
