members and their systems


for the short time I have been on here, I see that members will start a thread asking about a certain piece of equipment or speakers..       they will then buy that piece of equipment / speakers, start a thread about it saying how good it is and then next thing you know, they are starting another thread asking about another piece of gear as they are looking for something different.           what happened to that piece of gear that was so great ?       
  i get the whole buying thing....but where are members getting the money to do all of this stuff ?       do they not have other bills such as rent / mortgage payment, car payment, other bills to pay for also ?

Thanks for your defense @glupson.I have only ever criticized one person on this site. That is because of his hypocrisy as you’ve so clearly pointed out.

One more instance of his hypocrisy - he only promotes certain brands not to be renamed again, and he says he does it only because he likes them and gets no special treatment from them. If that’s the case, what about the numerous other laundry list of products he uses? He doesn’t like them? Or they don’t give him something? Maybe not directly, but there must be some benefit.

Lastly, he says people spend all day attacking others on AG. Talk about the pot calling the kettle black. And yes, I do havre a system that has been improving over 40 years that I have commented on its various components where appropriate. Just because I don’t take pictures of it and post them doesn’t make me unenthusiastic about my audio and music passion. I don’t need to brag, not that it is only braggarts who post their pictures, just the “damn serious” audiophiles. Lighten up - this is a fun hobby and people who are interested can learn things here. Sometimes from you! 

The best example is he has said many times that he is not fussy! Try to control your laughter.

I agree with some of his promotion like Townshend vibration control solutions. They helped me tremendously. It’s the ones that he says affect audio mysteriously that are highly questionable. All he can say is listen and have faith. Then when someone says they don’t improve the sound, he makes excuses. I am honest in my opinions when I try something, good or no change. 
IAnother proof point, after he told me to contact Townshend, he told me to tell them that he sent me. If no benefit to him, then why would he say that?

@mahgister at least has a possible reason for the sound change as plugging in more SR devices to your electric grid can change the sound. I don’t see how that could be a positive, but who knows, and maybe it could do something. I have never personally criticized him.

Now maybe MC will move along, but I doubt it.

millercarbon,

"Who needs a house when I am living in your heads rent free!"

In the world of flora and fauna that is the description of a parasite.
sokogear,

"...he only promotes certain brands not to be renamed again, and he says he does it only because he likes them and gets no special treatment from them."

For some reason, I am afraid that it is actually true. Influencer in the making who could use a style coach to appear more believable.
Op as you can see it’s all just a big hot mess.  Stop trying to figure things out.  It’s hard.  That’s why people are always seeking new toys.  There is no rhyme or reason.  Just the thrill of the chase.    Is that enough to explain it?
