Synergistic calls out Audioholics

This will never happen. Gene will not accept this challenge.
Mr. $37,541 GOFUNDME will come up with some bullsh*t excuse to try to save face. At least with SR if you spend $5000 you get a top quality cable in return. The guys who donated $1000, $5000 to Gene, what did they get in return? Bupkis... Who's the real snake-oil salesman here...

"Who’s the real snake-oil salesman here..."

Both A and B.are correct answers.

@douglas_schroeder Your comment has given me the opportunity to once again point out how the vast majority of audiophiles, and even many reviewers, do not use superior methods in establishing and evaluating systems.  :)

Haruuumph! You minions of audio. Bow down to he who must rule us all.......

Gene’s comment was totally rude and uncalled for. He is not the end-all grandaddy of audio measurements...and even if he was, the tone of his message was deliberately impolite.

If he had simply asked for some products to test and shared verifiable test results, that would have been fine. I certainly hope Gene doesn’t chicken 🍗 out. He must take this challenge. Else his reputation will be at stake along with the validity of the Audioholics YouTube channel and website.

This challenge is perfectly reasonable. He’s even willing to pay for air travel and accommodations! "I'll give ya some money so you can go out to eat, pay for Uber, hotel" - like Gene is his Son 🤣

I think Gene should take Ted up on his offer. Otherwise, Ted will end up with every dollar that Gene owns. Well-intentioned criticism is one thing ... but falsely disparaging products and threatening the lively hood of another by trying to ruin a business with negative, bull-shit phone calls to Ted’s dealers is beyond the pale. If you’re reading this Gene, wake up man, you are about to get your ass sued off.
