Yes I see this before. I also see where small group guys get stiffie over products and fall in love like bunch of teen girls and nonstop defend product and tell people that don't like it that it must not be broke in or have wrong cable or vibration not right etc. soon you find they all sell and forget about product like old hag getting rid handbag. These guy need attention to be right more than logical. Lot of idiot here because they sit on bottom all day.
Ridiculous assertions that someone is being ripped off or conned
How many times has this scenario played out here? Someone purchases product X, and tries it in their system. They report positive results, that it works as advertised, that they got their money’s worth, that they are happy with the purchase. Then someone, usually having zero experience with the product, replies with something like: “No, you’ve got it all wrong! You’re being ripped off! You’re being conned!
Does anyone else understand how ridiculous and absurd these kinds of assertions are?! The consumer who actually put up their own money and took the time to evaluate the product in their own home/system reports it works as advertised, they are happy with it, that they got their money’s worth. Then someone else claims they were ripped off?!
Imagine an agency investigating consumer fraud getting a complaint like this: “My neighbor is being ripped off!” “No, no, he thinks it’s great, does everything he expected it to. He’s very happy with it, but I just know he’s being conned!” Do you seriously think they’re going to open any kind of investigation into it?
You can disagree with what someone says about the effectiveness of a product all you want, but to say they have been defrauded, when they report the exact opposite, is patently ridiculous.

@tommylion, I have some real estate I would like to sell you. It is one thing to discuss the build quality of a unit, its reliability, the customer service of the company that makes it and it's overall sound capability. It is a totally different issue supporting your cable on little marble blocks and to extole the INCREDIBULE, FN UNBELEIVABLE IMPROVEMENT they made in the sonic virtues of your system. This kind of ...nonsense is, for lack of a kinder term, pitiful. It is OK to feel insecure in your position. The way to respond to this is to do some research. Everything has a reason. There is no mystery in any of this. If something is shrouded in mystery odds on it is a scam and many audiophiles are easy targets. It is wise to be skeptical of just about everything.

I have been on the receiving end of some unpleasant comments by some on here. Though, as many, I'm in pursuit of the best sound I can get from my system.
Many of the tweaks I have added, have made an improvement. Most of those I cannot explain how it could possibly be.
Some of the additions have had no discernable impact on my music. I do not tell others how good these ones are. For me, my system, or my ears; no observable difference.
What irks me most are those who argue vehemently, that most of my tweaks cannot possibly work, without having tried them.
I've been belittled, called gullible, insane, a shiller, a patsy, a voodoist, snake oil messiah, a train wreck, inept, diseased, delusional, and in need of a lobotomy. I have been questioned on my experiences, intent, honesty, sanity, and intelligence. All over my experiences from products supposed to aid my enjoyment of music. |
@jerrybj many of us have tried these sticks, stones, generators, gems and as one put it goop. Yes some have had success (?) for me only the goop worked but I did not sing from the mountain top and put it in every post (@millercarbon) . Mind you I sent all the sticks, stones, gems, and generators back to Shiceters that sell that crap. |
I apologize for comments made by knuckle dragging liberal and I try to buy this site and make button so you can tune these people with such comment out. I proud that you take all this punishment like man and still stand after all this years. You become better audiophile on righteous path to goal of musicality deliver by man upstair. |
