The science of opinion ...

There are a great many audiophile devices that will surely test the suspicious and intractable mind of the skeptic we haven’t touched on too much here. Dare I even broach the subject? You know what I’m talking about. Things that go bump in the night. Things that absolutely drive skeptics right up the wall.

Mpingo discs and fancy fuses can’t hold a candle to the Icons of Tweakery. Let me give you a few examples. Silver Rainbow Foil. 😛 Red x Pen. 😬 The Intelligent Chip. 😩 Quantum Temple Bell 🤪 Morphic Message Labels. 😲 The Clever Little Clock. New Dark Matter. The Mystery Tweak which, by the way, I’ve decided not to offer for sale because then it wouldn’t be a secret anymore, would it? Lock four physics PhDs 🤓 🤓 🤓 🤓 in a room for a week and they would not be able to figure them out.

Ethan would be like kryptonite to you geoff, he knows almost everything about a subject to which you know almost nothing :-) .... serious side: he can be dogmatic and jumps to conclusions without considering all variables, and will fight you, but he does listen. Speaking purely of acoustics at this point.

Ethan is true pseudo expert. A pencil twiddler of the worst and blind kind. Reminds me of someone here....

His product is crap, his knowledge base is crap. He has threatened to sue people before (individuals, forums, magazines, editorial staff, and experts among them) and been kicked off forums for such behavior. He’s been kicked off more than one forum, for sure.

I and others have gone ’round and ’round with him before, and we have encountered his limited depth to such a large degree that his pattern is well known and well understood. To a point well past nausea. Reminds me of something.....it does....

Are these the marks and talents of a person whom you respect?

Ethan is good with spinning numbers on a calculator or whatnot, but even a dog or horse can be trained to do that.

But knowledgeable about acoustics? yes, maybe... at the generic base level. The rubber stamp simplistic textbook ’by the numbers’ level. Sure. Sort of.

Can he fix REAL problems outside of a simplistic textbook formula?

No.

This means there is little to no mind of capacity or intellect - behind the facade.

Normally, as in the vast number of situations... I would leave this sort of thing alone. But Ethan has surely managed to drum up his own enemies by attacking that which he does not understand, with relentless fervor. And damaging the other given business and people, in the process. Kicking him to the curb is a moment of sanity and reason.

Ethan is in the business of selling a product --- acoustic panels. So of course he will say this and that is snake oil, simply buy my acoustic panels. It's his marketing strategy. As simple as that. Everyone in the business has an agenda. Yes, he says he sold the business, but his name, face, etc. is still in the website, and am pretty sure he is still getting paid from that business in one shape or form or another.

Are you sure you’re not Ethan Winer? I bet you are. It would be just like him to come in as someone else and say what a great guy Ethan Winer is. Give me a break.

Oh... Ethan does this all the time. Especially on Facebook. He has several fake (very fake) accounts that he posts under. It is easy to tell, as often he forgets under which account he is posting, and posts something that the "real" Ethan has already posted before (he is getting old)

All the anti-audiophile master debater pseudo-skeptics come from the same factory.
